Cops: Baggy pants prevented suspect's escape attempt
SALINAS, Calif. (AP) -- Police in California say a fleet footed
suspect's escape attempt was foiled when the man's baggy pants fell
to his ankles and tripped him up.
The California Highway Patrol says 37-year-old Johnny Camel tried to
run from police after a traffic stop in Salinas, California, Friday.
But police say Camel was wearing jeans that were about four sizes too
big.
Police say Camel also wasn't wearing underwear under the loose jeans.
The C-H-P says an increasing number of foot pursuits are ending
quickly because suspects can't run and hold their pants up at the
same time.
