16-Year-Old Charged After Chase In Stolen Vehicle
NEWTON GROVE, N.C. – A 16-year-old was charged after Sampson County sheriff’s deputies said a stolen vehicle sped through a driver’s license checkpoint and led officers on a chase early Tuesday morning.
The incident began around 12:20 a.m. on Fayetteville Highway, where deputies were conducting a driver’s license checkpoint.
According to the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office, deputies saw a silver Kia travel through the checkpoint without stopping and began pursuing the vehicle.
The driver continued on Fayetteville Highway toward Newton Grove.
As the Kia approached the traffic circle, authorities said it continued straight through the traffic circle before coming to rest in the median.
Deputies took the driver into custody without further incident.
Investigators later determined the Kia had been reported stolen Sept. 6 in Sampson County.
The 16-year-old was charged by juvenile petitions with felony fleeing to elude arrest, possession of a stolen motor vehicle, injury to real property, speeding, fictitious registration, resisting, delaying or obstructing a public officer, no operator’s license, and failure to stop for a red light.

Name the parents.
For real if they can act like that the least they can do is give out parents information
If they wanna try and act like an adult while doing stupid stuff their name should be able to be released
Yea but….. being an adult doesn’t mean that you steal cars.
It can be released. A chapter 20 violation, (traffic) is treated just as if they were an adult. JOCO report is just using best judgement since the kid is just a dumb a$$….
16 year old at 12:25 AM? Yea charge the parents with neglect and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. And name them.
You mean your parents didn’t let you run around at 1 in the morning?
Mine either….
NOPE! I think parents should be charged if their child engages in illegal activity. Furthermore, I think parents should be fine if the child is engaging in illegal activity and it’s after 9 o’clock at night if the child is under 16.
