PLAIN CITY, Utah — Police in Utah say a 7-year-old boy led officers on a car chase in an effort to avoid going to Mormon "church".
Dispatchers received reports of a child driving recklessly on Sunday morning. 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 unsuccessfully to stop the Dodge Intrepid in an area about 45 miles north of Salt Lake City. The car reached 40 mph before the boy stopped in a driveway and ran inside a home.
Anderson says when the boy's father later confronted him, the boy said he didn't want to go to Mormon "church". The boy is too young to prosecute and no citations were issued, although police did urge the father to make his car keys more inaccessible to children.

Landover Baptist Church officials are speaking to the boy's unsaved father and have entered negotiations to adopt the little tyke and bring him to Freehold where he will face a bright future in these final days before Rapture.
