This man is indeed being arrested behind the wheel of a pink electric toy car, although, as you can imagine, the reason is not that straight forward. Police had been dispatched to a location in San Jacinto County in Texas to arrest David Schumaker on suspicion of credit card abuse But, upon arrival, they were left surprised when they found their suspect trundling down the road at the controls of the pink Power Wheels electric car. The toy is aimed at children aged between five and 10, however, that, according to local police, hasn’t stopped Schumaker using it as regular transport. A spokesman at the local police station said ‘Yes, that story is perfectly true. ‘We were just as surprised when the report turned out to be spot on. ‘Someone who was passing took the picture and it has caused a lot of amusement.’ At the time of his arrest, Schumaker was reportedly looking for a battery for the toy. And, in case you were interested in its whereabouts, It has since gone into another individual’s possession.
