Speaker A

These are the craziest police escapes of all time. But as the video goes on, they get more and more crazy. And first, this lady did something so stupid, she's facing jail time. And it's all because she was speeding. I saw you nice and take a

Speaker A

series of small steps to turn around. And just a few sobriety tests later, she decided to do this. I'm good. No, you're not. Go ahead and put your hands behind your back. Uh-uh, I used to be a lawyer

Speaker A

and I used to do criminal law. I've got the whole situation. Let me get my husband on the line.

Speaker A

Okay. Letting this woman make a phone call was a mistake. And so was asking this man to have a seat. Do you have a seat for me? Have a seat. Am I being Have a seat. Yes, you're being detained.

Speaker A

Have a seat. Bye. Have a good day. Yep, he's in the water. Jesus. That was just playing dumb. But what this guy did was straight-up genius. Because instead of running, he pretended to be homeless to escape the cops. Damn.

Speaker A

He's digging it. He's digging it. Yeah. Yo, come on. Come on. Yeah. Yo, he's smart as damn. Now, that dude was lucky. But this Texas man, not so much.

Speaker A

[screaming] [screaming] You don't see that every day. And uh you don't see this every day either. Because this dude didn't just get away, he had the cops going after someone else.

Speaker A

Driver, driver jumping out of the vehicle. Driver running through a parking lot, getting out of the vehicle into another group of cars, and it looks like a commercial parking lot. [music] Don't see anybody chasing him on foot yet.

Speaker A

We'll see what some of these businesses are if he's Okay, that's not him. Another man walking nearby is stopped by officers and raises his hands. And just moments later, he's suddenly attacked by a canine and taken to the ground,

Speaker A

suffering numerous bite wounds. I don't think that's him, Mark. Yeah. That guy's probably still haunted by this. And I'm still haunted by this criminal, because he literally just walked out of the police station like it was nothing.

Speaker A

[music] That should not have been that easy. Someone arrest this man. And while we're at it, arrest this suspect, because he was pulled over for driving under the influence and somehow he still managed to pick the lock with his belt buckle

Speaker A

and escape. What a demon. But this Corvette driver's a speed demon. [music] Jesus. 60 seconds and he was gone. Dude got off easy. And uh these next people also got off, because this convicted killer had a special relationship with a cop.

Speaker A

She was a prison guard who fell in love with an inmate. Vicky White broke her boyfriend out of jail in Alabama, where he was serving a 75-year sentence for kidnapping his ex-girlfriend. Overnight, they became the nation's most wanted

Speaker A

fugitives. Huh. I guess you could say love really set him free. Huh? Huh? Yeah, maybe that wasn't that great. But sometimes, it's not always the police applying the pressure, because this inmate did it himself.

Speaker A

Damn. He really just kung fu kicked his way to freedom. But this dude, he pulled off something even crazier. Because after convincing the cops he was badly injured, he was taken to court in a wheelchair. When out of nowhere, this

Speaker A

happened. Wait, what? Bro went from critical condition to Olympic athlete in 2 seconds. You hate to see it. But what you love to see is this friendly interaction.

Speaker A

You're I'm under arrest anyways. Right. Now that was crazy. But I think this kid in custody has him beat.

Speaker A

Yeah, the sheriff asked for a minute, but all he needed was a second. Man, that dude's a menace. But he ain't the only one, because one time a man drove through an entire Russian airport and evaded the cops just to impress his

Speaker A

girlfriend. 40 seconds. 30 seconds. 20 seconds left. Don't dawdle. They saw us. They see us, you idiot.

Speaker A

They know we're on it, man. Oh, this thing is blown. This isn't a game. What are you doing?

Speaker A

[music] Can you please take this seriously? Why [music] did I think you were going to behave yourself? Trevor, don't. Do you want to take down the Union Depository?

Speaker A

[screaming] Damn, we're lucky no one got hurt. But it's not always the bystanders you got to worry about, because this car thief was cuffed up and still managed to embarrass the cops. What is she doing?

Speaker A

She tried to steal your car. These cops were down bad, but the LAPD was down even worse, because they once had a carjacker refuel mid-chase and still get away. Driver stepping out of the vehicle and he's going to drop it right here.

Speaker A

Bending Oh, he's going to get [music] gas. This driver nervously getting gas after feeling some degree of relief here, although you could tell he's still very animated. He's got his shirt covering his face.

Speaker A

He's just dropping the drop This is wild scene here as he just drops [music] the pump and continues on after a quick splash of gas. Jesus, that man's got balls of steel. But, this guy? He's got moves, because our suspect here turned into

Speaker A

a witness real quick. Man, how the hell does someone do that? It doesn't even make any sense. And neither does this high-speed chase, because while the cops thought they were closing in on their suspect, he was already one

Speaker A

step ahead. East on Manchester, East on Manchester, under the 110 Freeway. Now moving away from us here. He's under the freeway, under the overpass, right? He did not come out the other side. Did not come out the other side yet. This is

Speaker A

always a tricky point. It's always a telltale sign if they're looking to dump the vehicle. Sometimes they will stop under the freeway. He's out of the vehicle. The vehicle's rolling. The vehicle's rolling into the intersection.

Speaker A

He is on foot under that freeway. Now look at this. That Jaguar is moving on its own. Try and open it up. Try and open it up. Is it Okay, it's open and here Here it comes to an end.

Speaker A

And look, vanishing under a bridge is really disrespectful, but running away from an entire SWAT team? That's a whole 'nother level.

Speaker A

[music] Oh, hell no. That man was out of his damn mind. What this next suspect did was out of pocket because with a drawbridge going up, he should have hit the brakes.

Speaker A

But, instead, he floored it. [music] [music] Yeah, no one saw that coming. But, what they really didn't expect was what this suspect pulled off because this dude straight up stole a police cruiser from a parking lot and led the cops on a

Speaker A

multi-county chase. Good job. They're still a little ways away. Pretty good traffic. 10-3 10-3, someone just pitted him into the woods. But, it gets even crazier than that because [music] after they pitted him off the road the first time, he just hopped out and stole

Speaker A

another police cruiser like it was nothing. Hey, y'all, do not walk up on this car. We got enough people up there.

Speaker A

Gun! That's the gun! That suspect was able to get away the second time because the door of the cruiser was unlocked with the keys inside.

Speaker A

He was on the police microphone screaming into it. And when we pulled him out of the car to handcuff him, he still had the microphone in and was screaming about the FBI and security clearance and Homeland Security.

Speaker A

Are you kidding me? That was so good. He ran it back. But, an escape like this is once-in-a-lifetime because this prisoner was being transported in a patrol car until the unthinkable happened.

Speaker A

Yeah, this guy managed to get away without even trying. Now, that right there is a breakout. But, look, we got to talk about this daredevil because he literally clowned the cops in the craziest way possible. Authorities would seek to

Speaker A

stop [music] any future attempts. Within moments of the train's arrival, police attempted [music] to block Raha. Raha was faced with the decision of going to jail [music] or going for glory.

Speaker A

I had a clean shot at it, so I just went for it and hit it. Man, this guy really put on a show. And so did this inmate because just as he was dropped off at the Porter County Jail, he pulled this off.

Speaker A

That is nuts. But prison escapes are full of crazy moments. Like the time this inmate was transferred back to prison when all of a sudden Damn, bro slipped right out of there.

Speaker A

But look, this inmate slipped out, too, because he somehow climbed the pri

Speaker A

That's impressive, but this is just embarrassing cuz back in 1995, a Danish TV crew pulled up to cover a protest outside a prison thinking they were covering a protest when in reality, it was all a setup for an escape.

Speaker A

Yeah, and by the end of it, 12 inmates had escaped. Man, you think people would be more careful, but instead, we got people like our next suspect, the man that literally risked his life just to get away.

Speaker A

Woo, that was close. God damn, I don't know who got away cleaner, that driver or Richard Lee McNair cuz back on April 5th, 2006, he was in the middle of his third escape, but this one was his wildest one yet cuz just hours after

Speaker A

breaking out, he got stopped by a cop and instead of running, he started yapping. Where do live at? Down the road by you.

Speaker A

Pineville? Pineville? Uh-huh. Okay. Do you have any form of identification on you? No, man. What's your name? Robert Jones.

Speaker A

What's your address? I don't have an address. I'm at the hotel. We're working on houses and stuff. I got to go to work. What is we got an escapee? Oh, [ __ ] [laughter] Put yourself in my position. Well, yeah,

Speaker A

but I'm not I know I'm not I'm not You won't believe what them guys do. I mean, they got years and years to think about how they going to do it. When I crossed the tracks down there, I saw you

Speaker A

running. I said, "Well, how lucky can I be?" No. No. No. No. I'm not no prison escapee. I promise you I'm not no damn prison escapee. You'd have done run by now.

Speaker A

[laughter] You know that yourself. If you do jog again in the future, carry some ID with you. When I was in the military, we never carried our ID on base and stuff. On base is different, you know.

Speaker A

You have a good day now. Be careful, buddy. Thank you. All right. Yeah. I mean, bro had no ID, was switching names, and the cops still buy it. And look, sweet talking your way to freedom is one level of crazy, but it gets even

Speaker A

more twisted than that. Cuz these guys wanted to escape prison so bad, they had a helicopter fly in just to break them out.

Speaker A

In the video, you can see the helicopter, which was hijacked earlier by two armed men who were pretending to be tourists after it just landed on the roof of the detention center. You can see them struggling, even being helped

Speaker A

at one point by their accomplices, and in the end they decided to tie the rope around their feet before taking off.

Speaker A

They were eventually dropped off in a residential area where a car was waiting. Yeah. And just like that, they were gone. Now, that's insane. But somehow, these police chases are even crazier. I mean, we've seen tanks tear down cities, cowboys getting up through

Speaker A

rush hour, and whatever the hell this dude's doing. Suspect doing some break dancing here [music] in the middle of the roadway, and he is definitely playing games with officers now, putting on quite a show.
