Occurred on 6/4/12, 12:03 a.m.  Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle/Evading  West Point/Greenwood   1206040002 

An Officer called in a hazardous motorist driving a black truck with its headlights turned off, while simultaneously another Officer was handling a call in which the 11-year-old daughter had stolen the father’s black Ford F-150 pick-up truck.  A B.O.L.O. (Be On the Lookout) was issued for the truck, believed to be related to both calls for service. 

Officers responded to the area and the truck was located in the Times Market parking lot at West Point and Greenwood. The driver upon seeing the Officer spun out of the parking lot and  drove off at a high rate of speed.  The Officer followed the truck and attempted to pull the vehicle over, but the driver continued on.  The pursuit was terminated, but Officers continued to follow the truck at a safe distance. 

Officers observed the driver run the red light at Greenwood and S. Padre Island Drive.  She continued southbound on Greenwood until she turned westbound onto Saratoga Boulevard.  The driver turned onto Calle Cuernavaca too fast and lost control of the truck.  The F-150 left the roadway and struck a fire hydrant.  The driver exited the truck and attempted to walk off. 

The 11-year-old driver was detained and became upset when told she would be placed in police custody.   She continued to show her displeasure at being detained by kicking the doors of the police car.  She was medically cleared at Driscoll Children’s Hospital and taken to the Nueces County Juvenile Justice Center where she was booked for Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle and Evading in a Motor Vehicle.
