Tacoma, WA: A young Tacoma, WA boy who made national headlines for talking his way onto airline flights is in trouble again. 11 year-old Semaj Booker was arrested for breaking into a house.
Cops responded to a residence when a woman called 911 to report hearing noises coming from her daughter's bedroom. Officers found the boy in the bedroom, and he first told them he came in looking for his Gameboy, which someone had thrown through the window.
He then gave officers a fake name and said he was 14 years old.
Cops said the boy changed his story many times, at one point telling officers he had been running from gang members, and later saying his mother was in the hospital after having been shot.
When asked where he lived, he gave the officers multiple fake addresses and, after checking out three of them, he was taken to a detention facility.
