I had one run out into the Maine woods in July wearing shorts, no hat, and no shirt. When the K-9 team got to him he was attempting to cover every bare piece of his skin with moss off the forest floor. It seems that in this part of the woods in July the mosquitoes are thicker than the hairs on a dog's back. The perp was so happy to see us, he even thanked us for rescuing him. At least the run away RV driver, mentioned above, was out of the elements!

they were better prepared when the fuzz raided the pot house south of me in NC. they had parked some ATVs in the woods behind the house and when the cops approached the house from the front, they dashed back and disappeared into the woods.:)

One thing I keep wondering about is why they keep running.. I mean eventually they run out of road.. Have an other one.. Idiot finally ran over something and disabled his car.. So he ran to the back door of a building that had lights on and pounded on the door wanting to be let in so he could escape the police.

They let him in.

However he failed to escape the police.

Yup, the police department it was. (I handled that chase from Dispatch)

One I did not handle was a foot chase in a shopping mall.. The man ran into a little room and closed the door... Their dispatcher then locked the door and told the security officers the subject was captured... he'd hid in the holding cell.

wa8yxm thanks for sharing your electrical van story. Very interesting. I have a few of those to tell you about should our paths meet.

Around here where crime is rare every cop goes to every single crime scene no matter how small. That way they can write down in there log books that they assisted in some way. Other wise there log books would be purdy boring because all they would say is "Ate Donut, Drank Coffee. Ate Donut, Drank Coffee." over and over again.

Maybe they were just trying to get to Witch Mountain for a ride home.

He should have tried to blend in with the other traffic.

I recall a chase we had years ago in the Greater Detroit area,, Fully loaded electrician's van (These run heavy so the power to weight ratio is not that great, likely worse than my class A's) he too ran over stop sticks, took out all his tires, keep on going throwing up a rooster tail of sparks off all 4 tires, finally set the van a-fire, he keept on going now being chased by big red trucks and one white one in addition to our blue rigs (Fire and EMS in case you wonder), finally the van quit, he still would not get out of the burning van, Finally our troopers got him out, he was fighting them they had to mace him and finally got him under control, EMS did the at scene and hauled his ... person... to the ER, where they ran a Toxicity screen to see what drugs he was taking.. Last time I heard they were still writing down drugs (he was on a bunch of illegal substances)... Do not know if he recovered.

I do suspect he got a new job though. You see, it was a company van Not yet a year old (Month or so) and he was an employee.

Drugs: Well, there is a reason they call it DOPE don't you know.

My first thought was to wonder if Walter or Jessie was driving...
