Texas boy, 12, facing charges after leading deputies in pursuit in stolen vehicle, sheriff’s office says

A 12-year-old boy in Texas found himself in hot water after leading deputies on a chase while driving a stolen vehicle. The incident unfolded when deputies located a stolen Kia Rio in the 12200 block of Antoine Drive, as reported by Fox 26. The boy, who was behind the wheel of the stolen vehicle, attempted to evade the deputies in a dramatic chase that eventually came to an end when the vehicle flipped.

Following the pursuit, it was revealed that the suspect was a 12-year-old boy. Due to his status as a minor, his identity was not disclosed. The young boy was subsequently processed and released to his mother by the deputies.

The owner of the stolen vehicle opted not to press charges, but the boy was charged for evading in a motor vehicle. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of reckless behavior, particularly for individuals as young as 12 years old.

In a separate incident in Texas, a mother faced charges after being discovered lying outside in freezing temperatures with two babies, according to the Sheriff’s office. These incidents highlight the importance of responsible behavior and the potential legal ramifications for engaging in unlawful activities.
