The man with her got into his own vehicle and chased the pair. After a short distance, both vehicles stopped and the man approached the vehicle.

He then got his arm in the vehicle and at that point, the 16-year-old driver took off, dragging the man for two to three blocks before he was able to free himself.

The driver took off but was caught a short time later and taken into custody.
