DPS officials tell us a14-year-old
stole his parent's dump truck in Crane; then led officers on a chase all the
way into Ector County.
At one point officers had
to resort to shooting out one of the tires to get the boy to stop.
Fortunately, he wasn't
going at a high speed and never crashed. He was stopped and caught at Wilson's
Corner on the 3200 block of Kermit highway.
The teenager's parents did
not press charges and the boy was released to them and as a precaution he was
taken to the hospital to be checked out.
His mother spoke with Newswest
9 at the scene and says he had just started a new medication and that it wasn't
like him.
