SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) - A convicted sex offender in Utah stole an empty school bus and tried to pick up children in a small town before residents called police and he was arrested, authorities said on Thursday.

Patrick James Fredericksen, 30, found a list of names and directions aboard the vehicle when he stole it in Cleveland on Monday, said Janalee Luke of the Emery County Sheriff's Office.

He tried to convince one child to get aboard, but the child's father would not allow it, Luke said.

Fredericksen then asked a woman for directions to another child's house, but she also thought he looked suspicious and called authorities, police said. A sheriff's lieutenant quickly blocked the bus and arrested Fredericksen.

I know a guy, his name is Mitchell Pask.
(His court antics made the national news)

He beat me up while stoned.

Molested a 13-year old boy.

First thing he does after serving time for molesting the boy?

Tries to pick up a 9-year old girl.
