The story that has been making headlines recently involves an alleged car thief who thought he had successfully escaped from the cops. However, his escape came to a dramatic end when he was found hiding inside a garbage bin, completely naked. The bizarre incident took place in Frederickson, Washington, where deputies stopped the suspect's vehicle, which they deemed to be suspicious.
As soon as the deputies pulled over the vehicle, the naked man took off running, jumping over multiple fences in an attempt to evade capture. The Pierce County Sheriff's Department deputies, who were in hot pursuit, eventually lost sight of the suspect. That's when they decided to call in their K9 unit, Bronco, to assist in the search.
Body camera footage from the deputies shows the large black dog, Bronco, barking fiercely as he leads them to a blue trash can in a backyard. The deputies lift the lid to reveal the suspect inside, still completely naked. The suspect is later identified as Jacob Matthew Patterson, a wanted vehicle theft suspect.
The deputies are heard on the footage telling the suspect to come out of the bin or risk getting bitten by the dog. As Bronco continues to bark, the suspect sticks his hands out of the bin, with the lid still covering his head. The deputies yell for him to put his hands up and turn around, which he does without hesitation.
Patterson emerges from the bin with his back to the deputies, as ordered, and puts his hands behind his back. He is then taken into custody without any further incident. According to the Pierce County Sheriff's Department, Patterson had several felony warrants out for his arrest and was known to possess firearms.
The strange encounter occurred on the morning of August 21, when a deputy ran the license plate of the vehicle and recognized the owner as the passenger in a Ford F550 truck that had been stolen just 10 days earlier. Patterson's four-year-old child, who was in the vehicle at the time, was safely taken into custody by deputies. However, Patterson and his girlfriend, who was also in the vehicle, did not cooperate.
In fact, when deputies attempted to apprehend Patterson, he fled and hid in the trash can where he was eventually caught. The sheriff's office reported that deputies had to fire a less-lethal round through the rear window of the vehicle to get the suspect's girlfriend to surrender. At that moment, Patterson made a run for it and ended up in the garbage can.
The Pierce County Sheriff's Department commended their deputies for their exceptional work in apprehending the suspect, and of course, praised their K9 unit, Bronco, for his invaluable assistance. Patterson, who has since been identified, now faces eight charges, including unlawful possession of a stolen vehicle, reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, and driving with a suspended or revoked license.
As for why Patterson was naked during the whole ordeal, that remains a mystery. But one thing is for sure, this bizarre and dramatic event has captured the attention of people all over the country.
