But how on earth did a 5-year-old know how to drive? And how did he manage to pull over or even reach the breaks? One thing is for sure, he was definitely able to check his mirrors and knew to pull over when he saw the cop car. But perhaps he learned from watching his parents. Officer Morgan stated:

He was upset and on the verge of tears and it was short one-word answers that he gave. His parents said that he had not driven before, this was the first time that he did anything like this.

The young boy's efforts almost paid off as his story touched those of both locals and celebrities who decided to bring his dream a little closer by offering him a ride in their Lamborghinisinstead. Zamarripa even managed to get a ride with local businessman Jeremy Neve.

But it gets better, the Zamarripa family were even brought out to LA to a celebrity car dealer where Adrian got to talk to Lil-pump and Shaq on facetime and even got to meet Jaimie Foxx in person.

Crime really does pay.
