DESTIN, Fla. He was handcuffed in the back seat, with his seat belt fastened, but somehow, a shoplifting suspect managed to steal a sheriff's deputy's S-U-V and lead police on a high-speed chase.

It happened yesterday in Destin, Florida, after 33-year-old Scott Graves was arrested for allegedly shoplifting. Deputies say he was able to remove the Plexiglas barrier between the front and back seats of the deputy's Ford Expedition and took off.

The Walton County Sheriff's Office says he led deputies on a high-speed chase before he abandoned the vehicle. They say he then struck and robbed a person in a Taco Bell parking lot and tried to steal a car in a nearby parking lot. Eventually, a man subdued him until deputies arrived to arrest him.
