Sheriff's office releases chase video of 7-year-old driver

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

The Weber County Sheriff's Office released dash-cam video of a 7-year-old boy who went to great lengths to get out of going to church on July 26. 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. "They could tell there was a small, young driver in the car."

10. That little guy said he "wanted to do hood rat stuff wi' my friend."

That was his response when the officer asked him if he knew that he could have killed someone.

He hit parked cars and ran over a couple of mailboxes and was driving in heavy traffic. Too bad he didn't get mad at his mom and take off with gramma's car on a Sunday morning when traffic was lighter. The charges may have been lighter had the damages been smaller.

8. I walked out of (Unitarian) Sunday School when I was 7...
