A 12-year-old girl from South Carolina has literally taken the police for a ride, when she stole a car that led cops on a hot chase.
According to a report appeared in the Huffington Post, the
police initially thought the unidentified pre-teen was a drunk driver after
noting her swerving and reaching speeds up to 70 miles per hour.
It all happened when the girl got into a brawl with her
father that spurred her to leave the house. Angry over this, the girl stole a
truck from a nearby VFW hall and hit the road, the report quoted the police.
“Police gave chase to the girl for 20 minutes from near her
Gaffney, S.C. home all the way to Charlotte, N.C. The girl covered around 50
miles overall during the joyride,” says the report.
The owner of the truck had no clue how the little girl was
able to steal the car telling WSOC in Charlotte that he wanted to know how she
got inside the car and was able to get it started.
Officers corralled the young girl after she slowed down
enough for officers to surround the truck.
The girl and her father may face charges in Charlotte for
the incident.
Though the girl’s dad has to be mad and punish her for her
reckless actions, on some level, you have to be proud, right? Endangering
herself and others aside, it’s kind of cool that your daughter got all Dukes of
Hazzard. Raising a badass ain’t easy, says the report.
