Add another celebrity to the Celebrities from Stillwater List on Wikipedia (scroll to see list). This time it's a 10-year-old kid who led police on a car chase that sounds like some kind of Adam Sandler movie plot.

Stillwater, Minnesota police say it was Sunday night around 9:30 when the child was spotted driving his parent's 2016 Chrysler minivan. The squad car turned around, turned on it's lights, and instead of pulling over, the kid took off!

The Pioneer Press reports the police turned off the lights and siren and just followed him because a chase would be super dangerous.

The kid hit 50 mph at one point, and, in the part that seems like it should be in a movie, he disappeared and reappeared driving backwards thru an intersection. Classic Hollywood gag, right?

Going backwards is what caught him up, though, as he backed into a yard and the officer was able to block him in and contacted the parents who had no idea he was out if the house. Why was he out of the house? To get Cheerios for breakfast, of course.

Duhhh.
