New York – A New York City man arrested nearly 30 times over 30 years for posing as a subway worker or bus driver, at times piloting trains full of unsuspecting commuters, was sentenced to up to 5 years in prison on Thursday, Aug. 15, for his latest joyride.

Darius McCollum, who has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism, will seek treatment for his transit obsession upon his release from prison, under a plea deal with prosecutors, his lawyer said.

McCollum, 48, pleaded guilty this month to taking a Trailways bus in 2010 from a depot in Hoboken, New Jersey, and driving it to the city’s Queens borough, apparently en route to John F. Kennedy International Airport, the Queens District Attorney’s office said.

It was McCollum’s 29th arrest since the age of 15.
