 A 13-year-old boy is in police custody after he led deputies on a police chase Saturday night in Clinton Township with his 8-year-old sister in the vehicle. 
 
 The Macomb County Sheriff’s Dispatch Center sent out an alert around 11:30 p.m. for deputies to be on the lookout for a black Nissan Altima that was reportedly driving erratically. 
 
 A sheriff deputy on patrol located the vehicle stopped at a red light on westbound Metropolitan Parkway near Harper in Clinton Township, according to a release from the sheriff's office. The office released dashcam footage of the chase Monday morning. 
 
 After the red signal changed, the deputy followed, then initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle to check on the driver, which was the 13-year-old boy. 
 
 The Nissan stopped on the left shoulder, but before the deputy could approach the vehicle, the boy roared away at high speed. The deputy pursued, unaware that the driver was a 13-year-old boy. 
 
 After a short vehicle pursuit, the driver of the Nissan lost control, spun out in the road, crossed the grassy median and ended up in the lanes of eastbound Metropolitan Parkway. 
 
 The two occupants jumped out of the car and ran but were caught by police. 
 
 Both children were transported to the Sheriff Office and the girl was turned over to her mother. The 13-year-old boy was taken to the Macomb Juvenile Justice Center and deputies were able to determine that the car belonged to the girlfriend of the children’s father. 
 
 The 8-year-old was not charged, but on Sunday morning the 13-year-old faced charges of unlawful driving away, fleeing and eluding, and resisting & obstructing a police officer, said Sheriff's Office Lt. John Michalke.

 It began late Saturday night when the Macomb County Sheriff’s Dispatch Center broadcasted a BOL (be-on-the-lookout) for a black Nissan Altima that was reportedly driving erratically. 
 
 A deputy spotted the car stopped at a traffic light on Metro Parkway (16 Mile Road) and signaled for the driver to pull over. The driver complied, but as the deputy approached, the car sped away. Sheriff’s officials say the deputy pursued — not knowing who was in the car. 
 
 After weaving in and out of traffic, the car spun out of control near Harper, crossed the grassy median, and ended up on the wrong side of the road. Dash-cam video of the chase shows traffic stopped in time to avoid hitting the vehicle, in the eastbound lanes of Metro Parkway. 
 
 That’s when the teen and his 8-year-old sister, who was a passenger in the car, jumped out and ran away on foot. With the help of a Clinton Township police officer, the youngsters were caught. 
 
 Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said investigators discovered the two had been staying with their father that night, and when he went to sleep, the siblings sneaked out and took his girlfriend’s car for a joy ride. 
 
 “One thing, you know, you learn in this business is you never can say that you’ve seen it all; and this is just another one of those incidents that you wouldn’t believe,” Wickersham said. “And, again, the deputy that was pursuing them did not expect to see a 13-year-old and an 8-year-old get out of a car and run away from the police.” 
 
 The girl was turned over to her mother, and the 13-year-old was taken to the Macomb Juvenile Justice Center with charges pending. 
 
 He faces a juvenile detention hearing Monday. 
 
 No one was hurt.
– Two Michigan youngsters are lucky they weren't shot at or killed in a car wreck after the older child, a 13-year-old boy, allegedly led police on a high-speed chase Saturday night, the Detroit Free Press reports. The Macomb County Sheriff's Dispatch Center started taking in reports of a Nissan Altima driving in an erratic manner in Clinton Township, and a sheriff's deputy came across the car stopped at a traffic light. In the pursuing deputy's dashcam video released Monday by the Macomb County Sheriff's Office, the police car can be seen trailing the Altima for a short time before the deputy pulls the Altima over—only for the Altima to speed away while the officer is getting ready to approach the vehicle. The deputy, who had no clue how old the driver really was, chases the speeding Altima for a time through traffic, until the teen driver loses control, swerves across the road, and comes to a stop in a lane of oncoming traffic on the other side of the parkway. Both the driver and a passenger dash from the car, and the deputy informs the dispatcher, "They're both getting out and running" and starts driving behind them in pursuit. That's when he makes a startling discovery. "It's a little kid," he tells the dispatcher. Both children—the driver and his 8-year-old sister—were nabbed, uninjured. "The deputy that was pursuing them did not expect to see a 13-year-old and an 8-year-old get out of a car and run away from the police," the sheriff tells CBS Detroit. Investigators determined the kids had waited for their dad to doze off, then took his girlfriend's car for a joyride, the station notes. The 13-year-old was charged with unlawful driving away, fleeing and eluding, and resisting and obstructing police and will appear at a juvenile detention hearing Monday, per the Free Press; his little sister was released to her mom, per CBS.
