Escaped Suspect Picks Bad Place To Hide

A burglary suspect was being transported to the County jail when he kicked out a back window of the police car and dove headfirst through the opening.

Still handcuffed, Brian Valentino ran a short distance and ducked into a building, where he ran down a hallway and hid behind a door.

Just one problem, his hiding spot was inside the headquarters of the county sheriff's office. Apparently, Valentino didn't notice the big yellow star on the entrance.

A retired deputy working part time in the building noticed the snow-covered, handcuffed man, followed him down the hall and held onto him until the officer he escaped from arrived on the scene.
