Ohio car theft suspect foiled by quick-thinking forklift operator who holds him 20 feet in the air

An Ohio man sat about “20 feet off the ground” in a vehicle he allegedly tried to steal from a wreck while waiting for police to arrive to arrest him.

Body camera footage from Akron police showed the SUV still hanging in the air before it was slowly brought down, so officers could arrest the suspect.

“What’s your name, friend?” one of the officers was heard asking.

“None of your business, bro,” said the handcuffed suspect.

When told he was under arrest, the suspect asked what and said he was running from someone.

The officer who captured the footage later went to speak with an employee at the business, identified by local TV station WOIO as Arlington Auto Wrecking, and the man who quickly drove a loader to arrest the suspect said “this car is bouncing, getting ready to turn a forklift. “

The 911 call was also obtained by WOIO.

“So, he’s still in the car about 20 feet in the air in the loader,” the business employee told the dispatcher.

“Great, that’s the greatest thing I’ve ever heard,” the 911 operator said with a laugh. “We, we’ll send you someone.”

Employees of the business told WOIO this is the third incident involving the suspect, who they identified as 26-year-old Alexander Funk, but the first time he has been arrested.

The footage shared from the Akron Police Department is dated Oct. 17, and shows officers at the jail afterward discussing what happened.

“He hit a car at the junkyard, and before he could get out, he’s done it before, they got like a forklift, and they had him, I’m not kidding, like 20 feet off the ground, so when we got there he went straight under arrest,” said the officer while the others laughed.
