The boy ran from officers, and then appered to enter a home on the 12000 block of James Road. Police then followed him into the woods behind the house.
The boy was eventually cuffed by but remained uncooperative. EMTs responded to the scene, and the boy was apparently restrained.
As of 1 p.m. on Tuesday, the boy had not yet been charged, but Minnetonka Police Captain Scott Boerboom said they are looking at charges of damage to property and obstruction of justice.
Boerboom said they suspect the boy was under the influence but are not sure if it was drugs or alcohol.
