I was sick.
That’s the excuse 20-year-old Nicholas Duffy gave for jumping out of a moving patrol car in Sandy, UT. Duffy had been arrested on outstanding warrants and was being transported to jail when he said he was not feeling well. When the officer rolled down the back window, Duffy used that as his escape opportunity. The car had slowed to about 30 mph by the time he wiggled his way out the car and landed on the pavement:

KSL reports Duffy was arrested again and taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Posted on January 26, 2011 at 3:51pmCan we give credit where it is due here people. With stupidity off the table this guy has major ballz! I mean think about it, jumping from a cop car in cuffs out a window! That cop was doing about 60 when he first started to bail. I would have never attempted that maneuver not even with a fifth of JD in my veins.
Side note: when did they start putting leather seats in cop cars? I was hauled away in a cop car once in my younger days and i remember fiberglass rear seats!!!

Posted on January 26, 2011 at 12:34pmGood point. Must be he was from California and used to dealing with traffic jams during set hours of the day; the reflex becomes embedded in the genetic coding and becomes habit…or so a band of the defense lawyers will say – along with claiming the door just flew open and other such nonsense.

Posted on January 26, 2011 at 11:16amThe problem is that the officer will get in trouble for this. Then we the tax payers will have to cover the perps medical bills and legal fees. I just wish the officer had pulled over before rolling down the window.
