Man Hides From Cops, Then Calls for Help
Fri Feb 4, 5:50 PM ET Strange News - AP MONROE, La. - Jerry Wayne Till managed to get away from sheriff's deputies and elude them briefly — until he called them for help after he got lost in the woods.
A sheriff's deputy tried to pull over Till on Wednesday evening for speeding, but Till drove away, exceeding 100 mph at times, before eventually abandoning his vehicle and running into the woods, according to the arrest affidavit.
Deputies brought in search dogs, but couldn't locate Till until he called the sheriff's office from his cell phone asking for help because he was lost.
Deputies still couldn't find him, until a nearby resident heard Till crying for help and called the authorities.
Maj. Jay Russell said deputies believe Till was heading to his home, but got misdirected in the woods. Deputies took him into custody about a quarter mile from the house of the deputy who tried to pull him over.
Till, who was charged with aggravated flight and driving with an expired license, told deputies that he didn't pull over because he wasn't thinking straight.

Too bad Sasquatch didn't make him into a "forest bride".

I'd rather see those guys from "Deliverance" find him. They would think he has a "pretty mouth".

Makes me think of a story in a cop book that I read a few years back (real life cop book, one of those autobiographical things). The cop was driving around in a police van and pulled into a traffic light. Just the sight of the van caused 6 of the other motorists who were pulling into the light to crash into each other, resulting in a mini pile-up. Luckily, nobody was hurt ... but it probably does illustrate the strange phenomenon of "cop panic." ;D
