"Smarter than the police." Yeah right. :eyes:

DULUTH, Minn. -- A Minnesota man is in jail after allegedly stealing a car and repeatedly calling 911 to brag to police that they would not catch him.

Police in Duluth said the 23-year-old man stole the car Friday night, filled up at a gas station and then drove off without paying. After police received a report of the gasoline theft, an officer spotted the stolen car and tried to pull it over. But the man sped off, hitting a guardrail and turning off his lights.

Police soon found the car abandoned. It was then that the man allegedly began calling 911 from a cell phone, telling dispatchers he would not be caught because he was "smarter than the police."

Two hours later, a man called 911 to report a prowler at his home. Police arrived and found the suspect hiding in a shed. They arrested him after a short struggle.
