A 14-year-old boy allegedly led Lewiston police on a chase Thursday night.
The teen faces a charge of refusing to submit to arrest, according to the Lewiston Police Department.
Officers attempted to pull the boy over about 9:43 p.m., but he allegedly didn’t stop, prompting police to give chase.
The chase came to an end when the boy hit an exposed pipe behind a building on Bartlett Street, deflating one of his tires.
Police believe the vehicle, which was covered in bullet holes, was involved in a recent shooting.
The boy has been released into the custody of his guardians.
Additional charges are expected as the investigation proceeds.
