Police pull over 11-year-old boy

HOUSTON (AP) - Police pulled over an 11-year-old student with special needs for running a stop sign after he took his teacher's car for a joy ride in Houston.

The boy took his teacher's car keys Monday at the Academic and Behavior Center East after telling her he needed to return to the bathroom, even though he had just gone. He headed to the parking lot for her car.

Police called school officials two hours later and said they had pulled him over after he ran a stop sign.

No injuries were reported. The boy also took an assistant principal's car for a brief ride in March 2008.

School officials said the student will be reassigned to a school with a "more controlled environment."
