His hiding skills are rubbish.
A suspected thief escaped from an Alabama prison and eluded police for five days before ending up in a dramatic chase with officers in Atlanta – where he was caught crouching in a dumpster, wild video shows.
Tyree Chapman, 22, escaped from the Bessemer City Jail on Jan. 12, AL.com reported.
Five days later, on Wednesday evening, Chapman was spotted in a stolen black Infiniti Q50 at a Chevron gas station in the Atlanta, Ga., area, the Atlanta Police Department said.
Chapman is believed to have wiped the vehicle out of the Planet Fitness parking lot sometime after his jailbreak, AL.com said.
