All for a stolen library book? That's what prompted a ten-minute chase through Syracuse, New York. An officer spotted Bryan Haynes running a stop sign and a chase ensued. About a dozen police cars and a sheriff's department helicopter were involved before officers broke off pursuit because the situation became too dangerous. It wasn't until later that investigators learned he had run out of a Syracuse University library after allegedly stealing a book, setting off the building's alarms as he fled. During the chase, Haynes tossed a backpack out of the window. Officers expecting to find drugs or guns inside instead found a book on religion. (Copyright 2004 by The Associated Press.

"Oh, and, uh, no stealing, ok?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
