Arrr mateys! 'Tis a tale of a scallywag in Seattle who, after a chase, sought refuge in a dumpster. But the knave's strange request to the constables was surely a sight to behold! Ye must see the footage for yerselves, or ye'll be missing out on a grand jest!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, me hearties, a body camera video released by the scallywags in Seattle shows the moments when they located a man in a stolen vessel, tried to stop him from scuttling away, pursued him while he ran over two landlubbers in tents, and finally apprehended him after he was hiding out in a dumpster.The whole shebang happened around 5:40 a.m. on the fifth day of May, when officers laid eyes on what they believed to be a stolen ship with a man in the driver's seat dozing near Sixth Avenue South and South Snoqualmie Street, the constables said. The bodycam footage showed officers placing multiple tire deflation devices under the wheels of what appeared to be a white Toyota Camry.The officers bellowed for the "terminator devices" to be deployed to give the scallywag an opportunity to comply voluntarily, but he sailed off anyway, causing three tires to flatten, the constables said. A chase ensued, and the 30-year-old suspect could be seen knocking over tents with souls inside.Despite the dramatic pursuit, the suspect was rather nonchalant when surrendering."Can I get a cigarette or something?" the suspect asked while the officers ordered him to vacate the dumpster before his capture.The suspect was arrested on charges of vehicular assault, unlawful possession of a firearm, and possession of a stolen vessel, me hearties.
