Reporting from Phoenix — Authorities say a man didn’t go to jail hungry after making a stop at a fast-food restaurant as he led Arizona police on a car chase.
Police tried to arrest the man on an outstanding warrant Wednesday night and then kept tabs on him with a helicopter as he drove through parts of Phoenix and two suburbs, including his stop at an In-N-Out Burger to get food.
News video showed the truck at the fast-food restaurant, but no police in the immediate area.
The man then drove into a neighborhood and dashed into a backyard, where officers took him into custody.
Jail records show that the 35-year-old Joshua Adkins was booked on suspicion of unlawful flight from law enforcement, aggravated assault-domestic violence and unlawful imprisonment.
