Boy Leads Police on High Speed Chase – :Riverton
Riverton police say an 11-year-old boy driving a suburban led Fremont County law enforcement on a high speed chase early yesterday morning.
At 3:20 A-M Riverton police were called in to assist Wind River P-D in the chase. The boy entered Riverton from the North, then headed West on Hwy 26 to Dubois, maintaining speeds between 80 and 100 miles per hour.
Police cornered the boy near Crow Heart. He then proceeded to drive toward a Riverton police car, scraping the metal. Police say he stopped the vehicle by Bull Lake and attempted to flee on foot, but was caught.
Somebody was speeding on Wyoming. How can you tell? Perhaps they figured he was doing 100 from seeing all the cars passing him by. Fleeing from the cops doing 80 in Wyoming is as slow as the O.J. Ford Bronco “flight” on the 405 in Los Angeles. Though the thing with that is that doing 40 on the 405 in Los Angeles IS high speed, or rather, an indication of severe temperature drops in Hades.
