HANAHAN, S.C. - Police in Hanahan, S.C., were not amused when a man arrested for shoplifting wriggled through the glass partition in a police cruiser and drove off.

The suspect abandoned the car for a lawn service truck before he was eventually caught.

As Police Chief Don Wilcox put it: "People who are under arrest are like rats or mice ... Give them a little hole, and they can get through it."

The incident is under review. The suspect is charged with shoplifting, assault and stealing a police car.
