Police arrest a 5 year old boy while driving 0:57
(CNN) - The bold 5-year-old boy who took the car from his parents with three dollars in his pocket and a dream of buying a Lamborghini was finally able to travel in the luxurious sports car. This time, however, he was not driving.
"I was so happy," the boy's 16-year-old sister, Sidney Estrada, told CNN. "You could see his face shine after the trauma he had been through."
After the boy's escapade made international news, the family received an offer from a local businessman.
Entrepreneur Jeremy Neves of Orem, Utah offered the boy, Adrian Zamarripa, a ride in a two-seater matte black Lamborghini Huracán.
The family accepted Neves' offer to take Adrian for a walk around the block on Tuesday, the day after he returned home. He took turns sitting on the laps of his sister and mother while Neves drove.
"By taking him for a ride, it could bring him a little closer to his dream and show him it's possible," Neves, owner of a mobile phone company, Xcite Satellite, told CNN in an email. "After all, I looked a lot like this boy when I was little and I did well!"

He took the keys from his parents and drove
The boy told the Utah Highway Patrol that he ran away from home in his parents' car after his mother told him he would not buy him a Lamborghini, the agency tweeted. He took the car keys without his family knowing, got into his Dodge Journey, and managed to get to the interstate before the Utah Highway Patrol stopped him.
The highway patrolman initially thought the boy was a disabled driver, as he was zigzagging in the lanes at just over 50 km / h, Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Nick Street told CNN affiliate KSL. .
Adrian left with a plan: drive from Ogden, Utah, to California and buy the coveted sports car for $ 3. A Lamborghini can cost more than $ 200,000, so "the purchase amount could have been short," the highway patrol said in a tweet.
It is up to the local prosecutor to decide whether to press charges against his parents, KSL reported.
You've already learned your lesson, the family says.
But Estrada, her sister, told CNN that her parents were at work while she supervised him. Adrian left and took the keys without telling anyone, but his parents immediately left their jobs when they discovered he was missing, Sidney said.
He was gone for 30 minutes. Sidney and her parents feared the worst. The boy also burst into tears when he saw them, she said.
"He understands he did something wrong," said Sidney. “He knows he shouldn't do it again. He learned his lesson. "
Sidney said her family has no idea where her little brother learned to drive a real car, although as a baby, he could reverse his child-sized electric car with one hand.
His ride in Lamborghini was pleasant, Sidney said, but his parents punished him and increased his chores around the house as punishment .
