A 14-year-old boy who reportedly got drunk, smoked pot and took his mom's car for a late-night joy ride in Woodland, Wash., was arrested early Saturday after a high-speed chase, authorities say.

The boy told police he was bored and took his mom's car while she slept, police reported.

The chase began at about 1 a.m., when Woodland police officer Brent Murray spotted a small car weaving on Schurman Way and tried to stop the driver, who sped north on Interstate 5.

"The juvenile drove the vehicle at speeds up to approximately 115 mph and continued to drive in a reckless manner even after driving over spike strips," which were laid across the highway at the mid-way point of a 26-mile chase, police reported.

A tow truck driver told police he had been towing cars for 20 years and had never seen a car with wheels and suspension ground so far, police said.

The car's front tires deflated, but the boy kept driving until the rubber flew off, sparks flew and he literally rode the wheels off the vehicle, police said.

Eventually the car stopped, but the boy -- unnamed because he is a juvenile -- kept trying to accelerate, according to a Woodland Police Department news release.

Police arrested the boy and asked him why he didn't stop. He told them he wanted a "thrill," they reported.

The youth, arrested for driving under the influence and attempting to elude police, was booked into the Cowlitz County Juvenile Center, police said.
