Bus driver hits brakes
safely stops hijacking
United Press International
SIERRA BLANCA — A
Greyhound bus driver suddenly
braked the vehicle Tuesday to
throw a knife-wielding hijacker
off balance and end a 400-mile
ride of terror through the De
sert Southwest, authorities said.
U. S. Border Patrol agents
and Hudspeth County deputy
sheriffs arrested Johnny Ver
non Spence Jr., 31, of Dallas a
short time later as he headed
across the west Texas desert,
apparently headed for the Rio
Grande and Mexico, authorities
said. *
Spence was arraigned in El
Paso on federal charges of kid
napping and interstate trans
portation of a stolen vehicle.
Witnesses among the 25
adults and three children who
were passengers on the com
mandeered bus said driver
Ramon Quiroz, 43, of Tucson,
Ariz., brought the vehilce to a
sudden stop about 15 miles west
of Sierra Blanca, a town of 600
about 100 miles east of El Paso.
The hijacker tumbled off the
bus and ran into the desert, they
said.
Passengers said Spence
threatened to kill the driver and
others throughout the ride.
They said he prodded the driver
with two 5-inch knifes to keep
him speeding along at 90 mph.
None of the passengers was
seriously injured, though three
required medical treatment, in
vestigators said.
Passengers said Spence
boarded the bus in Tucson
