A 13-year-old boy has been arrested by Winters police after several alleged incidents involving reckless e-bike riding in the city.<\/p>\n

Winters police announced the boy’s arrest Thursday and detailed several incidents they said happened over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

In one incident, the teen allegedly fled from officers by speeding across Rotary Park and through a crowded apartment complex.<\/p>\n

In another incident, police allege the teen rode past an officer who had already pulled someone else over, exchanged words with the officer, popped a wheelie and sped off.<\/p>\n

Police said they were already considering going to the boy’s home and seizing his e-bike when they learned of a separate alleged incident at Winters Middle School. In that incident, the teen is suspected of shining a laser pointer in another student’s eyes, causing pain and a migraine.<\/p>\n

The boy’s parents told police they would sell his e-bike after being informed of the alleged incidents. After contacting his parents, police arrested the boy and booked him into Yolo County Juvenile Hall.<\/p>\n

Police said the boy is facing charges of felony evasion, misdemeanor reckless driving and misdemeanor pointing a laser at a person.<\/p>\n

Winters police are urging parents to be cautious about buying e-bikes for their children, citing other cases in California where parents have faced serious charges after their children hit people and caused fatal or catastrophic injuries.<\/p>\n
