White Settlement Police are searching for a man who escaped in a police car after being arrested for burglary.
Police have identified the man as Darren Porter, 41. They initially
arrested him at the scene of the burglary, handcuffed him, and placed
him in the back of the police car.
“He was able to roll down the back window,” said Lieutenant J.P.
Bevering. “He’s a very skinny individual and was able to slide out the
back window.”
Bevering says Porter then jumped in the front seat and took off.
The car was later found abandoned in west Fort Worth, but the suspect is still missing.
“The left front tire is blown out. It looks like he probably hit a curb and just blew the tire out,” said Bevering.
911 callers reported seeing the car driving erratically on the road.
Police are confident that they will capture Porter, who is now facing
additional charges of felony theft and escape in addition to the
original burglary charges.
Thanks for a bit of comic relief, on a snowy Sunday afternoon. With all the ugly BS going on, a good hearty laugh is priceless. Be well, Rob
You are right RobW
Poor guy. He’ll be a week getting the smell of pig stink off himself that he picked up off that car.
I always love a good Keystone Kops story.
“Duh……which way did he go, George, which way did he go?”
(You’d have to be pretty old to remember that line) LOL
Sigh… it appears that the White Settlement PD is the same bunch of Barney Fifes that they were in the 1960s, when I lived there.
