<\/p>\n
A bizarre scene in Seattle as a burglary suspect decided to chug from a can of gasoline as cops moved in for his arrest.<\/p>\n
The footage is wild, you see a guy sitting inside a truck parked in a garage as cops shout commands for him to get out of the vehicle. The guy takes a swig of the gasoline, as officers inform they’re about to break a window, which doesn’t really phase the alleged crook.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once the glass is broken, the dude takes another gulp before officers wrestle the gasoline away from him, drag him out of the truck and into handcuffs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Unclear what the alleged burglar thought he’d accomplish with the stunt, though at one point during his arrest it sounds like he says, “Shoot me” … so it could’ve been an attempt at self-harm.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As for how the whole thing started — a spokesperson from the Seattle, WA Police Department says they got a call from a 17-year-old girl Friday about a man trying to break into her parents’ home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the body cam footage, you see officers force entry into the home, search for the girl and eventually find the suspect in the garage … where the gasoline scene unfolds.<\/p>\n
The suspect was treated by paramedics and then taken to King County Jail and booked for residential burglary.<\/p>\n
