Teenager Rams Police Car Twice During Chase

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) - Police in Colorado Springs say a 15-year-old boy lead them on a chase in a stolen car.

The teenager was found taking a nap in the car at the Crosslands Hotel off of Highway 24 on Wednesday morning. The car was reported stolen more than a week ago.

"When we wake the male up and try to contact him, he takes the car and takes off," said Sgt. Robert Wilson with the Colorado Springs Police Department.

Police later caught up to the teenager. It's not clear what charges he will face.
