An enterprising five-year-old who got into an argument with his grandmother hopped into her Escalade and took off in search of his mother, driving while standing on the seat (it's unclear how he operated the pedals). After nearly running down a presumably less-monolithic vehicle, a motorist called the boy in to the fuzz, but an off-duty deputy managed to get the kid to stop before they arrived on the scene. Ah, Ypsilanti. First you give us Iggy Pop, and now you give us child-behind-the-wheel gold. Hold out your hand — you're gettin' a happy-face stamp.
