Student doused with gasoline at bus stop

ODESSA -- A 16-year-old student was waiting for the school bus this morning when someone drove past, dumped gasoline on him and then drove away, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

Jesse Fuller was waiting for the school bus at 6:10 a.m. at 19506 Pine Tree Road in Odessa when he saw a car pull up, deputies say. Someone threw gasoline on the boy, then drove away, deputies say. As the car left, Fuller heard laughter.

Fuller was not injured. He told deputies he thought the car was white. No one has been arrested in the incident.
