14-year-old boy arrested after plowing into 11 cars


A 14-year-old boy has been arrested in Redondo Beach for drunk driving, hit-and-run and evading police after plowing into nearly a dozen cars in a mall parking structure. Cops say he tossed beer bottles out of his car as he tried to flee.

The teen, whose name was not released, was arrested Friday afternoon at the South Bay Galleria.

The string of accidents began when the boy, believed to be driving his mother's car, hit a vehicle on the top floor of a parking garage and fled.

As he tried to exit the structure police say he hit 10 more cars and began jettisoning the beer bottles.

Police Sergeant Phil Keenan said -- quote -- "He's 14. That probably accounts for why he's drunk and driving badly - he doesn't have much experience at either."
