Local Dog Trainer Follows DUI Bus Driver Until LAPD Makes Arrest

Normally Colleen Steckloff has her hands full with a gaggle of furry friends with her business LA K-9′s, filming with NatGeo around Venice for “The Dog Whisperer” ( airing this Saturday night! ) - but tonight she heard a horrible noise as a large yellow school bus sideswiped a car on Rose near Rennie. Thinking quickly, she, her husband and a neighbor hopped in their cars and followed the bus that tried to make a run for it. Colleen called LAPD as they pursued the vehicle down Centinela where it was finally intercepted by the police after hitting even more cars. The driver of the bus, which is a dwelling for approximately three different older men and dogs, was drunk and was driving drunk on a suspended license. Heavy duty tow is currently en route to impound the vehicle.

A HUGE thanks to Colleen and her husband for thinking fast, being aware and following the hit and run driver safely until police could stop the vehicle and make the arrest!

See something? Say Something! Thanks Colleen!

    Lucky no one was killed. people need to take a closer look at these criminals living in RV’s, sleeping in parks and walk ways.

    I was wondering the same thing. If it was that guy and it sounds like it (old guys and dogs) The school bus had no license plate but had a sign warning to stop when lights are flashing. This driver was leering at the young ladies who travel on 4th. (creepy crusty) Sorry he caused so much damage. Colleen you and your neighbors are heros to all of venice!
    Keep vigilent eyes out for the Crusty Blight!
    they strike where you let them stay put for more than 5 minutes

    Wonder if this is the yellow bus I saw parked on 4th, 3 blocks south of Rose last night. Seems like we are getting more and more buses and rv’s creeping in :(
