Chatham-Kent cops had to track down a man yesterday who shrugged off his jacket and shirt to escape police custody.
Police say an officer on general patrol spotted a man yesterday afternoon on James Street in Chatham who was wanted for obstructing police, mischief and failing to attend court and failing to provide his fingerprints.
As the officer went to arrest the man, police say the guy pulled away and a struggle ensued. The man managed to break free from the officer by shrugging off his shirt and jacket.
Following a short and chilly foot chase (at least for the suspect), the man was arrested in the area of Barth Street and Victoria Avenue.
A 31-year-old man of no fixed address has new charges of resisting arrest and escaping lawful custody.
