When a traffic officer asks you to pull over during a roadblock, you begin to feel nervous. Do you have your driver’s licence with you? Does everyone have their seatbelt on? Is there anything about your behaviour that would make it easy for the officer to write you a fine or, even worse, arrest you?

These thoughts and more must have been rushing through Michael Maldonado’s mind when he was stopped by traffic officers in Porter County, Indiana on Monday, 26 March.

And unfortunately for him, he was in violation of the law. Officers from Porter County Sheriff’s Department charged Michael with drug possession and resisting arrest and transported him to the Porter County Jail.

This is where he saw the chance to escape. See how he sends the officers running after him in the security footage below:

According to Mashable, Michael managed to remove the hobble restraints the officers had put him in and run out of the garage with his handcuffs on. When the officers noticed what was happening, they fetched a police dog and scramble to open the alternative door so they can run after Michael. 

Michael was on the run until he was rearrested in Burns Harbor on Tuesday, 27 March.
