A Richmond, Indiana man tried to make a clean getaway – literally and figuratively – by stealing a city street sweeper.
Dash footage shows the sweeper-thief (Sammy H. Allen, 54) leading police on a low-speed chase through the (now, much cleaner) streets of Richmond, Indiana.
Police received reports that the driver hit other vehicles, crashed into one garage, avoided spike strips, swerved at people like he was going to hit them, and was driving through residential yards.
At least those lucky residents didn’t have to rake their lawns. Bonus!
The chase finally ended when the street sweeper cleaned itself… in a nearby river. SPLASH!
Allen was transported to the hospital for wounds from the canine apprehension and a subsequent struggle with arresting officers.
