Cops Say Handcuffed Car Chase Suspect Steals Police SUV, Starts 2nd Car Chase
A man in Texas is facing multiple charges after authorities say he led police in two high-speed pursuits in one night — including one in which he was handcuffed. According to a report by Fox 4 News Grand Prairie, the man was arrested for allegedly stealing a Cadillac; then, while handcuffed in the back of a police SUV, he stole that vehicle — and the second pursuit began. According to authorities, 22-year-old Kendral Pickett was driving a stolen Cadillac on Interstate 20 in Grande Prairie, Texas; police were called when motorists spotted the car driving erratically and without headlights. ABC 8 Dallas reports that the Cadillac crashed during a pursuit that reached speeds of 100 mph, at which point Pickett fled on foot before eventually being tracked down by a police K-9 unit and arrested. Police say Pickett, who suffered minor injuries during the arrest, was handcuffed and placed in the back of a Chevrolet Tahoe patrol vehicle while awaiting medical treatment. However, the Tahoe did not have a partition between the front and rear seats — so authorities say the suspect managed to wiggle the handcuffs in front of his body, climb behind the wheel of the police SUV and speed away, sparking chase number two of the evening. According to authorities, Pickett reached speeds of 100 mph behind the wheel of the Grand Prairie patrol vehicle before police deployed spike strips, causing the suspect to lose control of the SUV, which rolled down an embankment. Pickett reportedly suffered minor injuries in this second pursuit and left the scene in an ambulance. Pickett now faces two counts of theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of evading arrest, one count of escape while arrested and assault on a public servant. A second suspect, whose name has not yet been released, was also arrested. You Might Also Like You Need a Torque Wrench in Your Toolbox Tested: Best Car Interior Cleaners The Man Who Signs Every Car

TYSONS, Va. () — Police are investigating the death of a teenager found in a retention pond in Fairfax County, not far from where he had crashed his car. On Wednesday night, Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) identified a body that was found as 19-year-old Kyle Coleman, of Gainesville, who had been reported missing out of Prince William County over the weekend. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Police recover body from pond in Tysons; family of missing teen gather On Friday, June 6, at around 11:15 p.m., first responders were called to Galleria Drive and Tysons Boulevard for a 911 activation call from an iPhone.

Witnesses there said they saw a person run from the car and 'may have left the scene in another vehicle' right after, according to FCPD.
