Suspect flees to...police headquarters
A St. Louis man trying to escape pursuing police officers ran straight into police headquarters. Suspect Joseph Meacham was pulled over for an alleged traffic violation in his car by the cops, but fled on foot. At full sprint, Meacham ducked into a building, not noticing the sign saying “Police Headquarters,” and was apprehended by two cops. “He should have cut out the middle man and gone straight to jail,” said one of the arresting cops.
