Funny Police Photos! An exciting collection of strange, but true, pictures taken by cops on duty. Also an assortment of actual bizarre excuses motorists use on cops to get out of tickets
January 26, 1999...OSHAWA, Ontario (CNN)...
Three suspects made a break for freedom as they were led from a police van for a court appearance in Ontario recently.
Their spontaneous escape attempt ended a few seconds later, not at the hands of quick-thinking police, but because of an unyielding lamppost.
As the handcuffed men raced down the street, they passed on either side of a lamp pole, forgetting they were shackled together.
The three suspects collided in a heap and were quickly subdued by police.
Two of the men are facing counts of sexual assault. The third is charged with robbery and possession of stolen property.
