June 16, 200521 yr HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- Police said a 13-year-old boy stole a Hollywood Public Works utility truck Thursday morning and led officers on a high-speed chase into Miami-Dade County. Michael Tricoli stole the truck after an employee parked it and left the keys in the ignition on North 68th Way in Hollywood, according to a police news release. The chase began at about 11:30 a.m. after Hollywood police spotted the truck at the corner of Stirling Road and U.S. 441, Hollywood police Capt. Tony Rode said. Tricoli led officers through Hollywood, west into Miramar, then into Miami-Dade County and eventually to Hialeah, at the corner of Okeechobee and Lejeune roads. During the chase, Tricoli tried to run over at least one police officer and caused at least two car accidents, Rode said. Officers from Miami-Dade and Hialeah police joined the chase, along with helicopters from Miami-Dade and the Broward Sheriff's Office. It ended just before noon after officers used stop sticks and the teen got stuck in traffic. Tricoli struggled with officers during the arrest, but Rode said he did not know if the teen was injured. Tricoli is charged with felony possession of marijuana, grand theft auto, fleeing police, aggravated assault with a vehicle, resisting arrest and driving without a valid license. He is being held at the Juvenile Assessment Center. Source from NBC 6 http://www.nbc6.net/news/4618104/detail.html Please share your thoughts.

June 16, 200521 yr And it wouldn't have made much of a difference if he was 16 either.... Kids shouldn't be allowed to drive at 16 alone, it's too young. Kids nowadays want to grow up so fast and they're committing so many severe crimes with no fear. Something seriously has to be done with all of this. It seems like now all I hear on the news are crimes that are being committed by kids instead of adults. What's going on with the world? Our society is going down the toilet. I'm getting sick of hearing about all these crimes by kids, they need to stop!

Newsflash Marlins: Society has been bad since the dawn of time.
June 16, 200521 yr Author I'm 15 and I have my permit, but see its not all the kids fault, and the kids who try to be thugs that cause all the trouble.
