PLAIN CITY -- The Weber County Sheriff's Office has released dash-cam video of a 7-year-old boy who went to great lengths to get out of going to church. He took the family car and led police on a low-speed chase.

The boy told deputies it was just too hot to go to church, so he went for a joyride. His parents had no idea their car and their child was missing.

"People in the neighborhood are talking about this," said Weber County sheriff's Lt. Matthew Bell.

A quiet Sunday morning in Plain City was disrupted by calls of an unusual, reckless driver.

"They could tell there was a small, young driver in the car," Bell said.

Deputies found the car near the local high school and tailed it for 10 blocks, all while the driver weaved in traffic lanes and blew through stop signs.

"The deputies at one time had pulled up kinda close to him on the side and could see it was a very small person driving the car," Bell said.

Deputies say this dime-sized, delinquent driver maintained speeds up to 45 miles an hour even though he had some trouble reaching the pedals.

"His speed was slow, but erratically; and so he would kind of scoot down lower to push on the gas and kinda sit up on the seat more to see right where he was going," Bell said.

And where he went, was home. That's when deputies got a better look at who they were dealing with: a 7-year old boy whose feet were as quick as his caper.

"Very unusual situation, very unusual. I mean, what can you say?" Bell said.

Investigators say the boy is too young to charge with a crime.They just hope his parents keep a closer eye on him.

Will this be put against him when he tries to get his licence in 9-10 years? hahaha

oh my! A few comments:

1. Cute
2. He doesn't want to go to church, so maybe the parents shouldnt force him
3. SO dangerous
4. Good driver! lol

seaotta · Jul 31st, 2009, 01:20 PM

lol, I remember trying to get out of going to church....never went this far though. haha

I saw this on the news. He only got grounded for 4 days. I think he should be punished more harshly. He was lucky that he wasn't hurt, or killed someone else!

I really hope that with all the attention this got in the media, that others won't get ideas and do more stupid "cute" things.

ahha cute! he's sucha good driver!!!

I think I'm the only person in the country who doesn't find this humorous.

Sternchen · Aug 2nd, 2009, 12:13 PM

I don't think this is very funny or cute!

That boy would have gotten a whoppin if he was my kid!

NASCAR potential...ehehh

bag-mania · Aug 3rd, 2009, 09:46 AM

I don't think it's cute either. He looked like a natural-born criminal the way he jumped out of the car and ran from police. If he's doing things this dangerous and impulsive at age 7, I can only imagine what he'll be like at 15.

IFFAH · Aug 5th, 2009, 03:48 AM

Glad he's not hurt.

krisluvspurses · Aug 5th, 2009, 08:52 AM

My mom told me about this story the other day. Although he could have gotten hurt or hurt someone else, I couldn't help but laugh. My son is almost 7 and picturing him do that...Oh my!!

I do hope his parents explained to him, in a way he could understand, how dangerous that was.

Some of the reactions in this thread shock me.
