It was in this dirt lot where an Orville CHP officer was led on a small car chase. But the driver that started the chase wasn't arrested because the driver was a nine-year-old boy.

Just shock. Several other officers showed up as well, and it was like one of those no one really believed it things. So several officers did show up to this scene just to see in fact that it was a nine-year-old driving the vehicle.

Officer Dunn noticed the car stopped in the middle of the intersection of fourth Grand, which is the furthest intersection away from me. He then announced over the PA system for the car to move, to which the boy turned on the fourth Street, making his way through this intersection and then through the parking lot of the Valero gas station that I'm standing at. Now, after navigating through the gas station, he made his way through to the dirt lot over there, where he then backed into Officer Dunn's patrol car.

A few seconds later, I did notice a little head bopping inside. Unusual. I exited my patrol vehicle, made it approach, and as I was approaching, I could see a kid, which turned out to be a nine-year-old child, sticking his head out, saying, I'm sorry, I'm trying to get to school.

The boy's school was right next door.

At that point, we were trying to identify who he was, if that was the school he was actually heading to. We contacted the principal, we contacted the parent, and everyone showed up to the scene.

Officer Dunn says despite no one getting hurt, it should serve as a lesson to keep car keys out of kids' reach and teach kids about the importance of driver safety and laws.

Hopefully, a lot of other people take this to heart and learn from it. So hopefully, this doesn't happen again in the future. And just maybe talk to your children about the dangers of driving a vehicle and what could possibly happen.
