Joyriding Rochester Hills Teen Arrested After Crash

Police responded to Walmart in Troy on Friday evening after a woman reported her car had been hit in the parking lot.

The woman told Troy Police she believed the driver was intoxicated and hiding inside the store, according to a media release from the police department.

Officers arrived and located the driver, a 19-year-old Rochester Hills man, in the store's bathroom. The man eventually came out and spoke with Troy officers, who learned the man was not intoxicated and did not have a driver's license. The man, who did not have identification on him at the time, gave officers his name and birthday; his mother, who was on the scene, confirmed the information, according to the media release.

The man was cited for Michigan operator's license never acquired and was released.

Officers soon learned the man had given a false name, and that he really had a suspended driver's license and three outstanding warrants for his arrest. Officers arrested the man at his Rochester Hills home and cited his 39-year-old mother with hindering and obstructing a police officer.

The man was charged with driving while license suspended, hindering and obstructing a police officer, two felony warrants and one misdemeanor warrant.
