Police in Covington, La said they caught a 16 year old robbery suspect who had managed to elude authorities on a number of occasions when his baggy pants fell down. The suspect stumbled and fell as police where chasing him.
“We literally caught him with his pants down,” Lt. Jack West of Covington police said.
The teen was suspected of robbing a man at gunpoint and stealing another man’s car after beating him with a brick. He’d run from police several times in the weeks leading up to his capture.
One the day of his arrest a police officer had spotted the teen standing on a street corner and called in for back up. Then he tried to make the arrest.
“They all converged on him from different directions,” West said. “He started to run, but his low-riding pants fell down and he stumbled to his knees.”
The suspect, whose name wasn’t released because of his age, has been booked on warrants for carjacking, armed robbery, two counts of aggravated battery and being a child in need of supervision.
Sounds like that was one arrest needed to be made. Vicious kid.

That is too funny. I enjoy reading your blog and I thought it was probably time to let you know that.
