A drunk man tried to escape the police, by jumping into a police car

An intoxicated driver abandoned his ride in an attempt to ditch officers in pursuit, jumping in what he thought was a taxi.

Like a car chase from a cheesy action movie, he said: "Get me outta here buddy, cops are everywhere tonight."

His getaway might have worked, if he hadn’t got into a nearby police car. LOL.

Unluckily for the dim criminal, the officer wasted no time in playing driver – taking him directly to the police station, in Abbotsford, Canada.

The Abbotsford Police Department took to their Twitter account, @AbbyPoliceDept, to share the most ridiculous excuses given by drivers who are pulled over.
