FOSTORIA, Ohio (AP) — An erratic, speeding driver who led an Ohio officer on a brief pursuit turned out to be a 10-year-old boy who took his parents' car without permission and drove 11 miles to a nearby city to shop at a convenience store, police said. 
 
 An officer in Fostoria, roughly 40 miles south of Toledo, tried to stop a driver who wasn't using headlights and kept braking Sunday morning, and the vehicle took off at 70 mph, WTOL-TV reported. The vehicle eventually struck a curb and stopped in a restaurant parking lot, where the officer was surprised to discover that the driver was a child. 
 
 "It appears he wanted to go shopping," Police Chief Keith Loreno told The (Fostoria) Review Times. 
 
 No one was hurt, but police said the boy had nearly collided head-on with a tractor-trailer and jeopardized the safety of others in the area. 
 
 "At one point, he far exceeded the speed limits of the city," Loreno said. "Besides himself, he placed a lot of people in serious danger." 
 
 The boy, from the nearby town of Kansas, was taken into custody and charged with fleeing from a law enforcement officer. 
 
 His parents haven't been charged, but juvenile court and children's services are reviewing the case, The Review Times reported.

 A 13-year-old boy is in police custody after he led deputies on a police chase Saturday night in Clinton Township with his 8-year-old sister in the vehicle. 
 
 The Macomb County Sheriff’s Dispatch Center sent out an alert around 11:30 p.m. for deputies to be on the lookout for a black Nissan Altima that was reportedly driving erratically. 
 
 A sheriff deputy on patrol located the vehicle stopped at a red light on westbound Metropolitan Parkway near Harper in Clinton Township, according to a release from the sheriff's office. The office released dashcam footage of the chase Monday morning. 
 
 After the red signal changed, the deputy followed, then initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle to check on the driver, which was the 13-year-old boy. 
 
 The Nissan stopped on the left shoulder, but before the deputy could approach the vehicle, the boy roared away at high speed. The deputy pursued, unaware that the driver was a 13-year-old boy. 
 
 After a short vehicle pursuit, the driver of the Nissan lost control, spun out in the road, crossed the grassy median and ended up in the lanes of eastbound Metropolitan Parkway. 
 
 The two occupants jumped out of the car and ran but were caught by police. 
 
 Both children were transported to the Sheriff Office and the girl was turned over to her mother. The 13-year-old boy was taken to the Macomb Juvenile Justice Center and deputies were able to determine that the car belonged to the girlfriend of the children’s father. 
 
 The 8-year-old was not charged, but on Sunday morning the 13-year-old faced charges of unlawful driving away, fleeing and eluding, and resisting & obstructing a police officer, said Sheriff's Office Lt. John Michalke.

– "It appears he wanted to go shopping." That's what Ohio police say was the motive behind a 10-year-old boy's alleged 11-mile jaunt Sunday behind the wheel of his parents' vehicle, which ended up a little worse for wear. An officer had attempted to stop the vehicle in Fostoria around 7:15am but the driver took off speeding, police tell the Review Times. Only after the vehicle slammed into a curb, knocking off a wheel, did the officer notice the driver was a child; police now say he'd visited at least two stores that morning to buy soda, per Fox 29. The boy—who police note was uninjured despite nearly colliding with a tractor-trailer, per the AP—is charged with fleeing from police, a felony.
