Authorities said that not only did the driver not have a commercial license, but that he never had one. Ever.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to a Miami-Dade Sheriff&#8217;s Office (MDSO) arrest report obtained by <a data-ylk=\"slk:WPLG;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.local10.com\/news\/local\/2026\/08\/04\/man-accused-of-recklessly-driving-unregistered-school-bus-in-southwest-miami-dade-deputies-say\/?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=snd&amp;utm_content=wplg10&amp;fbclid=IwY2xjawTe9FVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeuMWydvihCNA9cOa8UmpjvtPM5tGPoAKMufUlVgBU2cLFMhMFUmDLxG9TjYE_aem_M_PXnAuM6wbzvGdAqPA_ng\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">WPLG<\/a>, the incident occurred on Saturday, August 1. At around 3:14 p.m., deputies were alerted to several reports involving a yellow school bus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Multiple people had called the authorities about a bus driving recklessly in the area of Southwest 104th Avenue and Southwest 172nd Street. A man, who was then identified as 23-year-old Erick Anthony Moore, was the one behind the wheel, the MDSO said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Eventually, deputies found Moore near Hibiscus Street and Homestead Avenue. Things got weird from that moment on.<\/p>\n<p>No Commercial License, Ever<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Deputies approached Moore and began asking questions. The arrest report detailed that the 23-year-old was unable to provide information regarding the school bus&#8217;s owner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The MDSO then found that Moore had a suspended driver&#8217;s license. Not only that, but deputies also found that no commercial driver&#8217;s license had ever been issued in his name.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To make matters worse, the bus itself was a source of an additional violation. Investigators determined that it was an unregistered school bus.<\/p>\n<p>Active Warrant<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It appears that Moore&#8217;s reported reckless driving was going to be a source of many more issues for him. Deputies learned that he had a possible active fugitive warrant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Later, the MCSO Warrants Bureau confirmed that the warrant was, in fact, active. As a result, the Florida man was placed under arrest, without incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Footage posted by Cutler Bay Social and shared by WPLG showed Moore being placed in handcuffs while sitting on the ground. Before his arrest, the man could be seen wearing a high-visibility vest, similar to a safety vest a legitimate driver might use.<\/p>\n<p>Arrested and Charged<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Erick Anthony Moore now faces mulitple traffic citations and charges. These include driving with a suspended license, operating a commercial vehicle without a commercial driver&#8217;s license, and operating an unregistered vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If convicted of the operating charge, Moore could spend up to a year behind bars. If this incident resulted in his first driving while suspended offense, he could get an additional 60 days in jail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Florida man is currently being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Jail records cited by the outlet showed his bond was set at $600. He, however, remains jailed due to an out-of-county warrant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you want more stories like this, follow <a data-ylk=\"slk:Guessing Headlights;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/guessingheadlights.com\/6d27\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Guessing Headlights<\/a><a data-ylk=\"slk:on;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/guessingheadlights.com\/6d27\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"> on <\/a><a data-ylk=\"slk:Yahoo;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/guessingheadlights.com\/6d27\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Yahoo<\/a> so you don&#8217;t miss what&#8217;s coming next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man in Miami-Dade County, Florida, is facing multiple charges after he was allegedly caught recklessly driving a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":363380,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[147772,13165,120968,147774,71170,28,30,29,373,6334,49146,38095,147773],"class_list":["post-363379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-anthony-moore","tag-arrest-report","tag-commercial-driver39s-license","tag-commercial-license","tag-driver39s-license","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-miami-dade-county","tag-reckless-driving","tag-turner-guilford-knight-correctional-center","tag-wplg","tag-yellow-school-bus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=363379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363379\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/363380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=363379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=363379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
