HUBER HEIGHTS, Ohio — A sanitation worker making his rounds in Ohio got an unexpected surprise when he opened a trash can and found a man hiding inside.
Dash camera video posted by the Huber Heights Police Department on its Facebook page shows the worker rolling the bin toward a garbage truck, lifting the lid and quickly staggering back before pointing toward the container as officers pull up.
Police said the man had fled on foot after a traffic stop earlier Monday. Officers briefly lost sight of him and set up a perimeter in the area.
The video shows the man climbing out of the bin and taking off running as an officer chases. During the pursuit, the man’s shoes appear to fly off.
The man was taken into custody without injury, police said.
The suspect was initially charged with felony assault on a police officer; the DA’s office charged him with harassment and obstruction of government administration, both misdemeanors
The suspect was initially located using the Glendale Police Department’s Real Time Crime Center; he was arrested a week following the incident
Gusmane Coulibaly, 27, was arrested after he was identified as one of four men shown in social media video throwing snowballs at police responding to a disorderly crowd
The Worcester Police Department has about 400 sworn police officers, 58 less than full staffing, and 50 to 60 officers are up for retirement this year
