A man who had been arrested on accusations of shoplifting at a Wal-Mart in Dallas today slipped out of a pair of handcuffs, carjacked a pickup with someone still inside and ultimately escaped in an Irving neighborhood, police said.
A Dallas police officer had arrested a man at the Wal-Mart at Interstate 30 and Cockrell Hill Road and was finishing paperwork in the loss prevention office about 2:40 p.m. when the suspect broke free and ran into the parking lot, police said.
He commandeered a red Dodge pickup and drove off, dropping the 24-year-old man who was inside off about 2 miles away in a neighborhood near Hale Street and North Bond Avenue before leading police on a short chase up Loop 12.
It’s unclear if the man was injured, but an ambulance was dispatched, officials said.
The suspect ditched the pickup in a ravine on Singleton Boulevard near Loop 12 and ran away, police said.
Officers set up a perimeter and continue to search for the suspect. Police said they know the suspect’s identity, but they did not release it this afternoon.
