A 7-year-old boy in Utah stole his family's Dodge Intrepid in order to get out of going to church on July 26, 2009. Police received a call of a child driving recklessly and caught up with him north of Salt Lake City.
Deputies followed the car at 40mph for about 10 blocks. At one point he pulled into the parking lot of a high school and drove around there, but took off again. Finally the boy pulled up to his driveway and ran into the garage to hide. The slow-speed chase was captured on the police car's dashcam.http://www.wxii12.com/family/20207757/detail.html
