BANGOR — Court documents indicate a 12-year-old boy who led Bangor police on a chase in a stolen minivan will remain detained until the case is heard.
The boy is charged with eluding an officer and unauthorized use of a vehicle. The chase last month ended when police rammed the minivan to stop the driver.
A Bangor police officer gave chase early June 25 after noticing that the van had no headlights and was dragging part of the front bumper. Police dashcam video showed the van running stop rights and red lights and making wild turns as it traveled along city streets.
Police say the same boy was charged with stealing a bus in May. An adult was able to get onto the bus and detain the boy until police arrived.
