Dakota Sullivan was driving the truck and Devin Sullivan was a passenger.
“Dakota was read his Miranda Rights and said he didn’t know anything about the vehicle other then his brother, Devin Sullivan, a passenger in the vehicle, had it and asked him to drive because Devin didn’t have a valid license. Devin was read his Miranda Rights and said he had permission from the vehicle owner to drive it.”
