Watch 10-year-old Cleveland boy lead police on 45-mile, high-speed chase

NYDN-

News 5 reports that as the boy was getting arrested he allegedly spit on an officer and kicked another cop in the chin.

Lt. Richard Reeder said the pursuit lasted about an hour and speeds topped 100 miles per hour.

According to Cleveland.com, the boy decided to snatch his mother’s boyfriend’s car keys and take off as his sister was in the bathroom.

The mom hopped in her car and followed her son calling 911 for help. At one point during the call, the mother told the dispatcher she was worried her son would get into an accident.

The outlet reports that the child was driving around 90 miles an hour. State police picked up the pursuit when the child entered Interstate 80.

According to officers, this isn’t the first time the child has gotten in trouble for stealing a car.

Last week, he took his mom’s car for a joyride through Cleveland. Police said he only stopped during that incident because the car got three flat tires.

Christopher Hampton, the child’s father, told News 5 his son stole the car the second time because he got away with it the first time.

“He thinks everything is funny,” he said. “He thinks because he got away with it the first time, they ain’t going to do nothing to him this time.”

  1. After the first time, I can’t believe anybody left car keys within 500 feet of the little snit. Don’t they still have Military Schools?

    That kid’s either going to grow up to be a career criminal or a NASCAR race driver. Maybe both.
