Too bad that The Crusader missed this info in an updated article:

"Also Monday, authorities said they were investigating Reed’s possible role in a home-invasion robbery in Mooresville Sunday night.

Six Mooresville residents reported that two men, armed with a gun, forced their way into a home and took more than $200 and a cell phone.

On Monday, four of the six robbery victims identified Reed as one of the assailants, Police Chief John Crone said. The other robbery suspect has not been identified, he said."

FYI...Reed is the 18 year old who was in the car and the lil' darling had committed an armed home invasion..."borrowing" $200.00 and a cell phone a few hours prior to the "joyride". SO not only were these kids driving erratically, in a stolen car...they were armed. Armed, dangerous and dead.

I think any kid who gets to the point of stealing cars has already crossed the line into becoming a very dangerous criminal. It's not something like graffiti or even a shoplifting incident --- it's too far down the road of crime to pass it off as kidstuff.
