Episode synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Nathan finds himself in cuffs for burglary and criminal mischief charges, although he denies all blame for the crimes committed. According to the teen, his friend picked him up in a truck and stopped at his 'grandmother's house' to grab some things from his room. After his friend loaded the pickup with goods, he peeled out of the driveway and ran through stop signs, eventually totaling the car. While his friend bolted from the scene of the accident, Nathan waited in the car for the cops to arrive.
