(Richland County Sheriff&#8217;s Office)<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jovan Collazo was found not guilty of charges related to kidnapping via hijacking a school bus. He was found not guilty due to insanity. The Army began the process to chapter him out of the military. Collazo had jumped a barbed wire fence to exit Fort Jackson and subsequently took over a bus. He also attempted to escape the detention\/jail facility he was brought to for this incident.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From Fox News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Fort Jackson leaders are aware of Pvt. Collazo&#8217;s case verdict and that he has been ordered to a mental health facility in South Carolina,&#8221; Fort Jackson spokeswoman LA Sully said Thursday. &#8220;Considering this outcome, the Army is updating his status and will complete all relevant administrative processes including separating him from the Army.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The move had been expected since early in the investigation. In May 2021, Collazo was accused of jumping over a barbed wire fence at Fort Jackson with an unloaded M-4 rifle and brandishing it while hijacking the bus.<\/p>\n<p>Collazo was three weeks into basic combat training at the time.<\/p>\n<p>He snuck away through the woods and found the school bus packed with kids, according to authorities, in an alleged attempt to return home to New Jersey while suffering from &#8220;anxiety.&#8221; The sheriff&#8217;s office later released surveillance video showing parts of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Panicked elementary school students pulled out their cellphones and contacted their parents, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said at the time. Collazo purportedly told the driver he didn&#8217;t want to hurt anyone, but eventually grew frustrated with the kids&#8217; questions and let them off.<\/p>\n<p>Eighteen students and the driver got out of the vehicle. Collazo drove a little longer, ditched the gun, left the bus, and Richland County deputies arrested him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has the article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/army-remove-fort-jackson-soldier-accused-hijacking-bus-while-awol-after-insanity-verdict\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jovan Collazo was found not guilty of charges related to kidnapping via hijacking a school bus. &hellip; <a title=\"Bus hijacker Soldier to be chaptered out of the Army\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=138713\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Bus hijacker Soldier to be chaptered out of the Army<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[359,232],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-138713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-army","category-army-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=138713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138713\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=138713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=138713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=138713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
