After Bryan Haynes was caught, Syracuse police could have thrown "the book" at him.

The Syracuse motorist refused to pull over for officers - and even drove against traffic on Erie Boulevard trying to shake them - because he had a stolen library book in his car, Sgt. Thomas Connellan said.


"It was stupid," Connellan said.

Haynes, 36, of 211 Bruce St., stole a book from Syracuse University's Bird Library shortly before an officer spotted him at 4:30 p.m. Sunday in a Ford Expedition passing through a stop sign in Thornden Park, Connellan said.

For about 10 minutes, police pursued him through the city's East Side, onto Interstate 690 and into the North Side. During the chase, officers saw the suspect toss a backpack out the car window, Connellan said.

Officers broke off the pursuit because it was getting too dangerous, the sergeant said.

Then deputies in the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office's helicopter followed Haynes' car until it stopped in Elmwood Park, where city police caught Haynes.

Officers recovered Haynes' backpack - which contained the stolen book, Connellan said.

Haynes was held overnight in the Justice Center Jail for arraignment today on charges of reckless endangerment, petit larceny and reckless driving, all misdemeanors, and numerous vehicle and traffic infractions.

lol nub...You would have to be some super geek to wanna run from the cops for stealing a book. How do you get caught stealing a book anyway.

Obviously you've never read a real book, otherwise you'd have some reading comprehension.

He was seen running a stop sign. Then he bolted.

That guy probably has some serious psychological issues probably with paranoia and such. I would hate to think that anybody is that stupid without having mental issues........ :disappoin

I would only run if it was a first edition...

either that or it was a damn good book...

"Uncle Fester's Guide To Refining Pseudoephedrine"

Maybe he was just economising?
;)

"advanced driving skills for fugitives"?

....I wonder what story he's going to make up for the people in his cell :dunno:
This is where police brutality should be ok, beat the fucker for being so dumb :twak:

Here's why he is so stupid...
Ford Expedition
Is there really any need for further explanation?

^^ I was wondering if someone was going to start that angle.....

dude's a freakin idiot.....lets leave it at that :screwy:

I think that the dumbest car chases are those that happen when people run when they see the cops, even when they haven't currently broken the law, outstanding tickets, warrants etc.

Here's why he is so stupid...

Is there really any need for further explanation?

The fact that he had to stop for gas 3 times during the short chase and consequently complained about the price per gallon each time, was curiously omitted... :lol:

what an idiot! might as well get pulled over for 'stealing' a FREAKIN PENCIL!! hahahhaha but thats pretty funny

It says "Sunday in a Ford Expedition passing through a stop sign in Thornden Park, Connellan said." I think its easy to assume he was getting a misdemeanor for the book and they spotted him at a stop sign. You dont have to snap back with some smart-ass answer.

No, you're right. I don't have to.

But I did anyway. Suck it up and move on.

Must be a pretty good book.

...or pretty bad one, maybe he was trying to save mankind from ever being in contact with such a dreadful literary piece :dunno:






:lol2:

No, you're right. I don't have to.
