"Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle but said the boy refused, leading authorities on a pursuit through the surrounding neighborhood. The brief chase culminated in the boy crashing the truck into one of the patrol cars and a parked vehicle. Photos shared by the department show a Ford pick-up with severe damage to the front driver's side of the vehicle and a flat tire."
"No one was injured during the incident, and the boy was taken into custody. Authorities warned local drivers to be aware of traffic delays in the area of Gerber Road and Valley Wood Drive. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comments regarding what happens next in the boy's case. In California, 12 is the minimum age at which a minor can be held criminally responsible for charges in juvenile court."
A 12-year-old boy took his parents' pickup to his former school on Caymus Drive in south Sacramento shortly before 7 a.m. He knocked over several traffic cones by the school and then drove away. Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle but the boy refused, prompting a pursuit through the surrounding neighborhood. The chase ended when the truck crashed into a patrol car and a parked vehicle; photos show front-driver-side damage and a flat tire. No injuries were reported and the boy was taken into custody. California law requires officers to take children under 14 into temporary custody while contacting guardians, and juvenile cases are reviewed by a county probation officer who may file charges or pursue informal options such as warnings or counseling.
