A 7-year-old boy took his family’s car to avoid going to church.
A Utah kid took his family’s car -- and the cops -- on a joyride.
According to FOXNews and video footage released by CBS, Preston Scarbrough was seen recklessly driving in Plain City, Utah, on Sunday, before he returned to his home’s driveway. The vehicle reached 40 mph, and one witness said Scarbough did not stop at a stop sign. Two deputies from Weber County Sheriff’s trailed behind the Dodge Intrepid but could not stop it.
FOXNews reports that Scarbrough said on the “Today” show on Friday that he took off to avoid going to church in hot weather. He also wanted to see what it was like driving a car after watching his mother and sister do it. Police said they were impressed with Scarbrough’s driving.
Scarbrough’s parents were unaware of their child’s reckless driving at the time, New York
Daily News reports. Police chased him for 10 blocks after finding the car near a high school. No citations were issued against him because of his age, but Scarbrough said his punishment is “no TV or video games for four days.”
