13-year-old boy leads police in chase in Michigan
A teen and his little sister are in hot water after they went for a joyride in Clinton Township, Michigan.

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI -- The dashboard camera of a patrol car was rolling as a 13-year-old Michigan boy led police on a chase, and he wasn't alone.

Officers say a teen in Clinton Township brought his little sister along for a joyride. When an officer tried to stop the boy for a traffic violation, he took off.

At one point, the teen ran off the road and crashed the vehicle. Both he and his eight-year-old sister bailed from the vehicle and tried to flee on foot.

Police were able to catch up with both of them. Little sister went home to mom, but her brother is now in juvenile detention after several run-ins with officers.
