Wild video captures handcuffed woman wriggle out of Michigan police cruiser, sprint away without cops noticing
A wild video captured a handcuffed woman wriggling out of a Michigan police cruiser through an open window and dashing away without cops noticing, according to reports and authorities.
The escape artist, who has not yet been publicly identified, was arrested on Saturday afternoon for violating her parole after a Muskegon Heights police officer discovered a vehicle parked at an abandoned business, according to ABC13.
Police approached the car and identified the driver, but could not identify a female passenger, the outlet reported.
After a fingerprint scanner was used to identify her, cops discovered she had an outstanding parole violation. She was then cuffed and placed in the back of a patrol vehicle.
A viral live video posted on social media showed the blonde woman in all-black black clothes peering out of the half-rolled-down rear seat window, appearing to scan for nearby cops.
She then lurched out of the window headfirst with her hands cuffed behind her back, lowered her leg, and hopped to the street, the clip showed.
As the woman bolted away and looped up a road, the camera panned to officers who appeared to be searching a white pickup truck beside two cop cars.
An officer tapped on the rear window only to find their arrestee had escaped — sparking a frantic search.
The woman remains at large as of late Monday afternoon. The Muskegon Heights Police Department did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
A resident reported later on Saturday night that someone had attempted to break into their home around 4:20 p.m., the outlet reported.
Police believe that the woman who fled the patrol car is a suspect in the home invasion that took place less than an hour after she escaped.
The woman now faces additional charges of fleeing a police officer and felony home invasion in addition to her parole violation, police said.
The police department is also in the process of obtaining additional arrest warrants for a slew of other charges — including escape, breaking and entering, and larceny, the outlet said.
