A teenager arrested Friday night after chase through three cities has been charged, by Mobile Police, with using a car with out owners consent, reckless endangerment, failure to obey and resisting arrest. The 16-year-old is being charged as a juvenile so his name is not being released.

Friday, 5/2/08, 11:30pm
A 16-year-old from Mobile was taken into custody Friday night after going for a joyride in his mother's car.
Chickasaw Police say he lead officers on a chase through three cities.
Sgt. Penton with Chickasaw Police tells News 5 that an officer spotted the vehicle speeding along Craft Highway at 12th Ave.
The teenager, driving a 2005 Nissan Altima, was being chased by his two brothers in a Chevy Impala.
Chickasaw Police began pursuing both vehicles down through Prichard and into Mobile.
Officer's caught up with the Impala on Interstate 65 at Airport Blvd where they learned two men were chasing their own brother.
They told police the brother took their mother's car without her permission.
Just before 10:00 p.m. a News 5 Sky Camera spotted a police chase going west bound on Airport Blvd. and continuing north on to Interstate-65.
That chase ended in front of 1608 St. Stephen's Avenue near Dunbar St.
Police were able to stop the Altima and took into custody the 16-year-old who allegedly took his mother's car. Police on scene say spike strips were deployed on St. Steven's Rd deflating one tire and the vehicle side swiped a pole.

No word yet on what the teenager will be charged with. His brother driving the Impala has been charged with reckless driving as well as fleeing and attempting to elude police officers.

I agree that they should be charged with Reckless driving, but not attempting to elude or resisting arrest or whatever. Clearly, this was not their intention. Sooner or later we have to take intention into account.

If his brothers hadn’t chased him, he probably wouldn’t have been driving crazy!

They should have just reported it stolen.

The brothers were charged for breaking the law.  Granted the brothers were trying to help and trying to keep up with their brother for the benefit of their mother, however, they are not trained law enforcement and by not stopping when officers pursued them they were considered fleeing and attempting to elude.  Don’t get me wrong I believe the brothers were right in their attempt to stop their brother but imagine how many innocent people could have been hurt or injured had either of these vehicles wrecked.  For that matter they could have cut in front of someone else and caused another person to have an accident.  Good intentions are one thing but in the end leave it to law enforcement, they are trained for this type of thing, they are trained in defensive driving and in the end if you get involved it just makes the officers job that much more difficult because not only do they have 1 car or person to watch but they now have 2 vehicles and 3 people to watch

Thats what I was saying on the other thread. Your answer is simply this: Many cops are power-hungry, corrupt, and ignorant. There are a few good ones, but the justice system as a whole needs to be revolutionized. We need someone to come in here and change all of this corruption. Read about the Minn. Vikings Defensive End’s Uncle. Read about what happened to Cedric Benson. Go to YouTube and type in “Police Brutality”. You’ll get your answer.

Why were the brothers charged, if they were trying to help their mother.  If anything the brothers should have just a ticket for speeding
