Trying to escape cops, Florida man runs right into California jail

[UrbScotty]

A man fleeing from officers conveniently ran toward the Sutter County Jail where a deputy not involved in the chase took him into custody because he was in a restricted area.

The man was part of a trio of Florida residents who were in a Jeep about 1:30 p.m. Saturday that was observed running a red light in Yuba City. A CHP officer tried to pull the Jeep over by activating lights and siren but the driver would not stop for about a quarter of a mile.

At that point, the three men bailed from the vehicle and ran away, two of them being caught nearby. The third ran behind the Sutter County Jail on Civic Center Boulevard.

There, a Sutter County Sheriff’s deputy who was not part of the chase saw the driver of the Jeep running in a restricted area.

1. Finally, they've apprehended Floridaman! But he's quite cagey. He'll escape real soon. nt
