How bad do you want to avoid church?

Utah boy, 7, goes for spin to avoid church

PLAIN CITY, Utah (AP) -- Police say a 7-year-old boy led officers on a car chase Sunday through Weber County in an effort to avoid going to church. Dispatchers received reports of a child driving recklessly on Sunday morning and Weber County Sheriff's Capt. Klint Anderson says one witness said the boy drove through a stop sign.

Anderson says two deputies caught up with the boy and tried to stop the car but could not. He says the car reached 40 mph before finally stopping in a driveway.

Anderson says when the boy's father confronted him, the boy said he didn't want to go to church.

The boy is too young to prosecute and no citations were issued.
