Forget “Running” Away, Drive Away Instead

Virginia boy takes pickup, horses to Texas

JETERSVILLE, Va. -- A 13-year-old Jetersville boy ignored the "run" portion of running away and drove instead, police said.

Wyatt McLaughlin loaded his family's pickup truck, hitched up a trailer with two horses and drove to Texas. He was found Friday in Weatherford, where he had performed in several rodeos.

Wyatt packed well for the trip. He had food and propane tanks and took his dog along for the ride, police said.
