Suspect Makes a Cigarette Pit Stop During Police Chase
A suspect made an unusual move while being chased by police in Phoenix on Tuesday.
Police say they were in pursuit of the man who was suspected of robbing a bank when the man stopped in at a convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes, then resumed running from them.
The clerk at the convenience store said the man seemed to be in a hurry but he did not realize at the time that he was involved in a police chase. The man took the cigarettes and flipped a $20 bill at the cashier on his way out.
The chase finally came to an end when police used a spike strip to puncture one of the suspect’s tires and then took him into police custody.
