KENNEWICK — A 12-year-old drove 161 miles across the Cascade Mountains to Eastern Washington before he was spotted by deputies and led them on a chase.
Police in Issaquah, Wash., notified the Grant County Sheriff’s Office that the boy had stolen his grandfather’s car and might be headed to Moses Lake.
Deputies spotted the stolen car parked on the curb on the 900 block of Lowry Street in Moses Lake about 10:20 a.m. Wednesday, according to the sheriff’s office.
The boy led deputies on a short chase that ended when a deputy used a PIT, or precision immobilization technique, maneuver, causing the 12 year old to lose control and stop the car when it abruptly turned sideways.
