Bad Idea of the Day: Handcuffed suspect jumps out of moving police car moronic escape attempt

criminal jumps from police car

20-year old Nicholas Duffy of Sandy, Utah had a bad day last week.

First he was arrested, because that’s the sort of thing police tend to do when they discover you have outstanding warrants. Then, while he was being transported to jail, he told the officers that he wasn’t feeling well. When the officer kindly rolled down the back window so Duffy could get a little fresh air, the criminal genius saw his chance to escape.

He wiggled out the window. Of course, since he was handcuffed and the police car was speeding down he freeway at the time of his escape, Duffy’s landing didn’t go quite as smoothly as he had hoped for. He was injured and immediately arrested again.

And it’s all on video.

NOTE: In Duffy’s defense, the Editor has been to Sandy, Utah and escape was also the only thing on his mind during his entire visit.

  • Obviously, the cop was not...let's say, the brightest bulb in the box and Duffy's day was not near as bad as it should have been.

  • Wow, I'm suprised he's not dead, but I think most of that flock of long curly locks he had on his head must be somewhere around his ankles by now!
    Idiot!

  • Jumping out of a speeding car is never a good idea, especially if you do it head first while handcuffed. Obviously Nicholas has a poor understanding of the laws of the physics of motion and common sense.

  • I want to see pics of his hamburger head AFTER the bailout. (Hmmm; other bailouts we have seen from our government have had nearly the same positive results. . . ) Could you be more stupid???

    C'mon, Sandy isn't that bad. I've been to a lot of far worse places. Not that I'd care to live there.

  • Damn. I was hoping there was video of him bouncing along the freeway. I always need some enjoyable entertainment of yet another wizard making a bad situation worse for themselves. I hope he didnt scrape off his Obama tattoo on the pavement, he would likely sue in order to get the taxpayers to replace it.

  • My oh my. Living proof that in some cases abortion should not only be legal, it should be mandatory. The taxpayers in Utah will be taking care of this boy for a long time.

    Although, I too have been to Sandy, Utah and I have to agree with the Editor. All I could think about was going someplace else, anyplace would do.

  • Living proof that there needs to be bleach added to the gene pool from time to time. Please tell me this genius has not reporduced.

  • Maybe this guy can get a job with Obama when he gets out of jail. Seems stupid enough to be a cabinet member.
