Teen Pushes Stolen Dodge Charger To 150 MPH Fleeing Police

It seems like in schools these days they need to teach kids reading, writing, arithmetic, and why running from police is dumb because they’re not learning the last one at home. A teenager in North Carolina sure could’ve benefited from that lesson before he fled police at 150 mph in a stolen Dodge Charger, causing a serious accident and getting hit with numerous criminal charges.

Road rage violence erupts in a Texas school zone.

The chase started when the 19-year-old suspect blasted past a North Carolina State High Patrol unit doing 90 mph in a 65 mph zone on I-40 east in Garner, North Carolina, reports WNCN. Once he saw a cop was trying to pull him over, the teen took off, pushing the Mopar to upwards of 150 mph.

Of course, going that fast also requires one to weave through traffic because nobody else is dumb enough to be traveling anywhere near as fast. And the kid lacked experience, so he eventually wrecked out into a pickup truck.

Thankfully and miraculously, nobody in the truck was killed. However, two people were injured, one requiring extrication. We don’t have details about how, but the teen suspect allegedly “intentionally injure(d) an animal – a small black dog” and so was hit with an animal cruelty charge.

He also picked up a couple of felonies for fleeing to elude arrest and possession of marijuana. Other criminal charges dropped on him by police include possession of a stolen vehicle, aggressive driving, and carrying a concealed gun.

We’re going to guess the gun and marijuana charges are helping police build a case against the 19-year-old as a drug dealer. That’s probably why he fled and was so desperate to not get caught. Unfortunately, other people paid the price of his not wanting to face consequences.
