Lincoln County NC July 28 2009
Harry Houdini has nothing on 38-year-old David Todd Martin.
Lincoln County authorities say Martin somehow managed to steal a police cruiser and drive away overnight — despite being handcuffed.
Authorities in Lincoln and Gaston counties were still looking for the man this morning.
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office said Martin, of Mount Holly, was pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy overnight for a traffic stop, on N.C. 16 south near the Lincoln-Gaston county line.
The deputy handcuffed Martin and put him in the back of the cruiser. Somehow, authorities say, Martin managed to get into the front seat of the Ford Crown Victoria and drive away. A short time later, police in Gaston County found the cruiser near Lucia River Road and Underwood Drive.
The vehicle was abandoned.
Martin had been arrested in late June in Lincoln County on charges of resisting arrest and having an open container of alcohol in a vehicle, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.
