"Amish Teen Led Cops on Horse and Buggy Chase, Say Police"

"LEON, N.Y. (CBS/AP) Levi Detweiler, a 17-year-old Amish youth, allegedly led sheriff's deputies on a mile-long, presumably low-speed chase, after running a stop sign in his horse and buggy and refusing to pull over.

"Do they train for this at the police academy?

"Deputies said they spotted Detweiler ignoring the stop sign last week. According to police, the teen then led them on a chase that ended when he lost control on a sharp turn into a driveway and overturned the buggy into a ditch. He then fled on foot."

He was caught and is being held on $500 bond. I guess those teen years can be rough no matter what religion you are.

When you can't stop the drug dealing, the shooting and the murders, you have to make sure you take action against the "hardened" criminals, especially those who "over-drive" their animals... I hear it is a slippery slope. Good friggin grief!

He's also charged with possession of alcohol. He's lucky they didn't get him for drunk over-driving.
