Aww! The lengths some people will go to avoid attending church.<\/p>\n

A seven-year-old boy in Plain City,\u00a0Utah<\/a>, decided it was too hot to go to church on July 26, so he \u201cborrowed\u201d the family car and went on a joy ride instead.<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/center>Responding to calls of an unusually small, reckless driver, the\u00a0Weber County Sheriff’s Office<\/a>released dash-cam video of the boy as he led police on a low-speed chase.<\/p>\n

Deputies found the car near the local high school and tailed it for 10 blocks, all while the driver weaved in traffic lanes and blew through stop signs.<\/p>\n

Preston<\/a>\u00a0maintained speeds up to 45 miles an hour, even though he had some trouble reaching the pedals.<\/p>\n

“His speed was slow, but erratic \u2026 and so he would kind of scoot down lower to push on the gas and kinda sit up on the seat more to see right where he was going,” Bell said.<\/p>\n

The chase came to an end at Preston\u2019s home, when he got out of the car, ran and hid in the basement.<\/p>\n
