Joyriding in stolen Dillon police car lands boy, mother in jail
A 13-year-old Dillon boy was arrested after officers said he took his interest in law enforcement too far by joyriding in a stolen police car.
His mother, who police said saw no problem with her son’s hobby, also was arrested.
Residents called police Sunday to say they’d seen the boy driving around in a police car, Dillon Police Sgt. Jason Turner said.
Officers didn’t even know the car was missing until then, Turner said.
The boy had also taken the car the previous Sunday, drove around Dillon and then returned the car to the police station, Turner said.
