Investigators say a 14-year-old driver was caught in a stolen car after a brief police pursuit on Interstate 40 in Lebanon during the night of Nov. 19.

Lebanon police were alerted to a Hyundai Sonata that had been reported stolen earlier that day in Nashville.

Officers found the vehicle at the city’s Walmart store on South Cumberland Street.

The vehicle took off when officers attempted a traffic stop , leading to a pursuit on Interstate 40 westbound. Police safely stopped the vehicle near the I-840 interchange.

A passenger in the vehicle was also a juvenile. Several charges are pending against the juvenile driver, according to police.

The Tennessean does not name juvenile suspects unless they are charged in adult court.
