A 19-year-old Henderson, Nevada man arrested for burglary managed to drive off in a police car on Wednesday, despite wearing handcuffs, only to be nabbed on foot a few hours later.
The unidentified burglary suspect drove off in the police car while officers stood outside their Chevrolet Tahoe shortly after apprehending him on suspicion of attempting to break into a nearby home, police spokesman Todd Rasmussen said.
While sitting in the back seat of the patrol car, the suspect managed to slide his handcuffed hands behind his back and scramble through a square-foot-wide opening in a plexiglass window separating the back from the driver's seat.
"He was pretty thin," Rasmussen said.
The suspect then drove off while still handcuffed, making it as far as a softball field about two miles away, Rasmussen said.
Authorities found the car using its built-in GPS, and shortly after that discovered the suspect hiding between nearby houses.
