The Utah Highway Patrol today received a report of an erratic driver. They approached the car in question and pulled it over. To their surprise inside was a 5 year old boy.
One of our Troopers in Weber Co. initiated a traffic stop on what he thought was an impaired driver. Turns out it was this young man, age 5, somehow made his way up onto the freeway in his parents' car. Made it from 17th and Lincoln in Ogden down to the 25th St off-ramp SB I-15. pic.twitter.com/3aF1g22jRB

The “suspect” had been in an argument with his mom about purchasing a Lamborghini. He was upset because his Mom refused to purchase it for him.
He then decided to take his $3 he had saved, get his parents’ keys, and drive to California in order to purchase it.
His story is that he left home after an argument with Mom, in which she told him she would not buy him a Lamborghini. He decided he'd take the car and go to California to buy one himself. He might have been short on the purchase amount, as he only had $3 dollars in his wallet.
