A man involved in a police chase on Tuesday surprised authorities when he stopped at a convenience store to buy cigarettes - before resuming the pursuit.
That is exactly what happened on Tuesday in Phoenix, where authorities chased a suspected bank robber through city streets. The suspect weaved his way through neighborhoods and made a couple of close calls with cars on the roadways. At one point, an undercover officer in a truck ran into the suspect - trying to spin him out.
Then, in the middle of the chase, the suspect made a pit stop at a convenience store - and ran inside, apparently to buy a pack of cigarettes. The clerk said the guy seemed to be in a hurry, but paid for the pack and left.
"I give him the cigarettes and he gave me $20 and he left," the store clerk said.
Police eventually deployed a spike strip, which blew out one of the suspects tyres, before taking him into custody.
