Photos: 11-Year-old Drives Off With Cement Truck, Leads Policemen On High-speed Chase

An 11-year-old Minnesota boy was arrested after allegedly stealing a cement mixer, taking it for a joy ride and leading police on a wild chase at speeds of up to 70 mph.

“It’s certainly not your normal traffic stop, not your normal chase,” Dodge County Sheriff Scott Rose told KTTC, a local NBC station.

The youth allegedly stole the mixer on Sunday from a contractor in Dodge Center, a small city about 25 miles outside of Rochester.
Dodge Center resident Troy Flatness, who witnessed the chase, said:

“I betcha he drove around town six or seven different times .He was smiling, hooting and hollering... he was having a good time.

“Everybody was out with their cameras,” he told the station. “It was like a parade and I had no idea what was going on.”
