10-Year-Old Joyrider From Cleveland Charged With Felony Fleeing

SANDUSKY, OH – A 10-year-old boy has been charged with felony fleeing and eluding police after he led police on a high speed chase from Cleveland, across Lorain County and into Erie County. A judge in Erie County will consider if he'll be held in Erie County's juvenile detention facility or released to his parents.

This is the second time in less than two weeks that the boy took his mother's vehicle. On Thursday, the chase started at his Hadley Avenue home on the west side of Cleveland. With his mother chasing behind him along Interstate 90 on the city's west side, other motorists took notice and called police via 911.

"The kid's, like, swerving in and out of traffic, and almost run a couple cars off the road," said one 911 caller. "He's swerving in and out of lanes like crazy."

The boy drove the car west on I-90, through Lorain and Erie counties, according to Westlake Police. Officers with that department say the silver car hit speeds of 96 miles per hour when going through the city.

Ohio State Highway Patrol located the missing child, behind the wheel of the car, a short time after near the 118 milepost on the turnpike. The boy was taken into custody shortly thereafter. The boy was not hurt.
