SAND LAKE -- After losing his video games as a punishment, 4-year-old Adrian Cole woke in the middle of the night, determined to replace them.
He dressed, put on his winter coat and boots and climbed on a lounge chair to reach keys on the wall and unlock the dead-bolt.
Then Adrian got into his mother's 1990 Geo Prizm and drove to Home Video, a quarter-mile up Northland Drive, the main drag through Sand Lake. It was closed at 1:30 a.m. Friday, so he started back home
That's when Sand Lake police officers Bill Bogner and Jay Osga spotted the slow-moving car, without lights on, weaving over curbs and plowing through snow banks. They figured the driver was drunk, or suffering a medical problem, as they followed the car to an apartment complex. They blocked in the car before the driver put it in reverse and hit the gas, crashing into the police cruiser.
"You're thinking worst-case scenario, especially after somebody backs into our car, with the lights flashing," Bogner said Monday. "We're hollering to put his hands up, then we see it's a 4-year-old boy, and pulled him out of there."
