Three teenagers were arrested after they sped off from a Buffalo Wild Wings with a staff member clinging onto the hood of their car in an attempt to stop them from dining-and-dashing.
Kayla Sherman was working at the Willoughby BWW in Ohio on November 20 when the teenagers, one 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds, ordered takeout and then ran before paying their $115 bill.
Sherman saw her co-worker run after the teens and followed shortly behind. She went in front of the teen's car while her co-worker attempted to grab the license plate number. Suddenly, the 17-year-old put the car in drive and plowed into Sherman, who was left hanging onto the hood.
'It was absolutely one of the most terrifying moments of my life,' Sherman told News 5 Cleveland. 'At one point, they said we'll just take you on the highway and they laughed about it knowing my body would not be able to hold on at that speed.'
Another employee was hanging onto the door handle of the car but let go in the parking lot.
Police arrived shortly after and footage from their dash cam showed the BMW drive out of the parking lot as Sherman held on for her life.
An officer followed the BMW with his lights on for miles until turning them off to avoid escalating the issue as the cars speed reached 50mph - with Sherman still clinging for dear life. The officer watched as the 17-year-old turned the car in high speed down Euclid Avenue.
'They had a sunroof, they were throwing things out of the sunroof at me,' Sherman said.
The teenagers were arrested for aggravated robbery, petty theft, obstruction and fleeing an officer.

Exactly. It doesn’t matter who or what perpetrated the crime.
Prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
How about reckless endangerment and attempted murder? Life without parole.
Teenagers, driving a BMW, and they skip. Says a lot.
Attempted murder, all three.
20 years in normal prison no chance of parole each, or a severe (severe) beat down stomp on once a week, for a whole year. Severe enough something might get broken. Criminals choice.
Since they are teenagers there will be no consequence.
Race of professional victims.

Clearly the workers at the restaurant were fed up w/ this b.s. — must have been happening a lot. No way this was the first time the had dealt w/ this crew, and/or others like them.
Charges for which the Default is to Decline Prosecuting (unless supervisor permission is obtained).
Instead of prosecuting, these cases should be (1) outright dismissed prior to arraignment or (2) where appropriate, diverted and treated as a civil infraction for which community service is satisfactory, restitution is satisfactory or engagement with appropriate community-based no-cost programming, job training or schooling is satisfactory. In the exceptional circumstances where prosecution of one of these charges is warranted, the line DA must first seek permission from his or her supervisor. If necessary, arraignment will be continued to allow for consultation with supervisor. Thus, there will be an avenue for prosecuting these misdemeanors when necessary but it will be appropriately overseen by experienced prosecutors.
Note: this is essentially already happening for drug possession cases in Roxbury and Dorchester District Court
Merely attempted murder and mayhem.
Nothing serious like “parading.”
They should’ve been charged with attempted murder.🙄
If you watch the video you can see that the “teens” are of a very colorful persuasion.
The teen employee was given a felony charge of impersonating a hood ornament.
“Teenagers.”
