The youngster was charged with evading and aggravated assault on a Peace Officer for ramming the patrol unit.

According to ABC 13, they pinched the vehicle from Ray's Auto Repair in Texas because he wanted to impress girls at a party.

A tweet on Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office official Twitter page read: ''The driver was 15. The church that owned the bus declined to prosecute for the theft. He was charged with evading and aggravated assault on a Peace Officer for ramming the patrol unit. #LivePD (sic)''

However, the pastor at Iglesia Cristiana Evangelicas, who owned the bus, have decided not to press charges.

She said in a statement: ''We're not going to press charges, because we don't believe in that. I hope he concentrates on what he's going to do with his life. What he wants for his life.''
