A short distance away officers found the second man as he was “sleeping” next to the motorcycle. When woken up the man exclaimed, “What is this bike doing in front of me?”

The first man eventually told officers they had taken the motorcycles from someone’s house and pushed them to keep quiet. He also said his buddy promised him half the money when the bikes were sold. For their efforts, both men were booked into jail for possession of a stolen vehicle while the owner recovered his motorcycles.

The new electric bus is the first of four that will run by the end of the year, all on Route 7. Everett Transit will have three more electric bus next year running on Route 6 along the waterfront from downtown Everett to College Station.

Funding for this year’s four electric buses was provided by a $3.4 million “Low or No Emission Vehicle Program” grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation in 2016. Everett Transit provided a $600,000 match.
