Outrageous.
Did this kid have prior arrests?
This kid sounds like he did what the police themselves advise, especially for women., to drive slowly to a safe place. If this report is true., does kid drove slowly to his father’s house ONE mile.
The kid did a stupid thing. Not something to get himself killed but to get in a lot of hot water. It could also get the cop in trouble if the family piles out of the house and wants to fight.
In short, the kid did something stupid and sometimes stupid gets you killed. A friend once called this “parking on the railroad tracks of life”
