We’ve seen plenty of suspects ram fences while fleeing police or trying to breach secure facilities. Usually the much heavier vehicles tear right through, especially with chain-link, but a case in Manatee County, Florida went differently.

This time the fleeing car ended up tangled in a tennis court fence rather than blasting through it. The unusual outcome brought the escape attempt to an abrupt and ensnared halt.
