And finally… leisurely pursuit
Reading time: 1 minute
The 'chase' lasted for more than half a mile
A man who tried to evade arrest in a slow-moving excavator for more than half a mile was apprehended by police officers following close behind on foot.
Washington County Sheriff’s Office said the operator, Jesse B. Shaw, had three arrest warrants and was wanted for stealing a car.
Police said they found Mr Shaw on a property while he was operating the excavator. When they commanded him to shut the machine down and surrender, he ignored them for several long minutes while they trudged along behind, KPTV reports.
When Mr Shaw eventually stopped, he was arrested for eluding arrest, car theft, and a parole violation.
