Minneapolis police arrested a 10-year-old boy for allegedly driving a stolen vehicle near a school playground last month — and it’s not the boy’s first brush with the law, police said.

Precocious little urchin.
That’s the boy screaming for help. I wonder what his home life is like, can’t be good with these types of attention seeking behaviors.
I’m trying to imagine getting car-jacked by a 10 year old and it just keeps getting funnier. Man… that poor kid is an idiot, but at 10 there’s no way this is his fault.
Well, he’s 10 now, but it sounds like that was a prior incident, so I suppose he could have been younger at that point.
8 year old trying to steal your car with a nerf blaster painted black…
He has assault with a dangerous weapon charges in there (which I assume is Minnesota’s term for what is “deadly weapon” here), so I’d guess that he was using a gun or maybe a knife against someone in at least one of his prior incidents, so I’d give reasonable odds that if he was using a weapon in the attempted carjacking, it wasn’t a Nerf gun.
EDIT: Yeah. Minnesota criminal code:

And if he has assault charges, he would have been using on someone, not just carrying it.
(Obviously I was being facetious, but a bit of clarification on how bullshit these laws are: )
Not familiar with Minnesota legal code, but in the states I am familiar with, assault is threatening with a weapon, not battery or attempted. Most jurisdictions I am experienced with also include threats with a weapon that was presented to the victim as deadly in the same category, so airsoft or other props count the same as a functional weapon.
Just a lil rapscallion.
