Don’t steal police cars, and certainly don’t give a suspect the chance. After arresting a man for a long, dangerous chase, the last thing officers should do is leave him near a cruiser’s front seat, yet that’s what happened in Otero County, where the handcuffed suspect stole the car and crashed it.
The lapse handed an already desperate suspect another chance to flee. The bizarre episode is a cautionary tale about the importance of securing detainees, since even a handcuffed suspect can seize an opportunity to cause more chaos.
