False teeth lead to arrest

Police arrested a 53-year-old man who they said crashed his stolen car into two other vehicles in Sacramento on Friday. Sacramento Police Department said it received a report of a man who crashed his car, hitting two vehicles, fences and landscaping of two homes.

Witnesses told police the man, who was bloodied and injured from the incident, fled on foot. Police said a man, identified as James Brown, was arrested.



Investigators said the officers were able to identify Brown as the driver of the car because his false teeth, which were knocked out when the vehicle's airbag was released, were left sitting on the floorboard of the vehicle.

The car was later found to be stolen, police said. Police said Brown was arrested for possession of a stolen car and hit-and-run charges. Investigators said Brown has a history of escaping from law enforcement custody.
