Police in Texas said a man accused of stealing steaks from Walmart led officers on a high-speed chase and struck a police car with meat tossed from his window.
Authorities said the suspect stole an undisclosed number of steaks from the Walmart Neighborhood Market in Longview just after 11 a.m. Wednesday.
The ensuing police chase reached speeds exceeding 100 mph and crossed two counties before the man was apprehended by Upshur County sheriff's deputies and East Mountain police.
East Mountain police Sgt. Marc Nichols said the suspect attempted to get rid of some of the pilfered meats while fleeing police.
"It appears that there's steaks and meats of some sort flying out the windows, and one of them bounced off my patrol car. That's not something you think of people stealing, especially running from the police in the process. Today was a new one," Nichols told KLTV.
Nichols said the suspect surrendered after stopping on Highway 271 in the Union Grove area.
Investigators said the suspect, whose name was not released, is believed to be a heroin user.

I wonder what his beef with the police was.

If he were a wanker, the meat would be beaten.

His error is obvious.
Once the police begin the chase you must go to ground.

I hear a similar theft happened in Colorado, but it involved pot roast.

The rumor is that he will be prosecuted by the famous DA Hamilton (Ham) Burger.

It is a relief the cops are OK after a steak hit their car.
One does not usually just walk from being T-Boned.

Police concern grew when the last package went out the car window; they knew at that point he had lost all of his marbling.
Ok - that last one was a stretch. I'll stop.
