A man who was being taken to the Boulder County Jail managed to briefly escape Wednesday, despite being handcuffed in the back seat of a police car, Boulder police said.
According to a Boulder police report, officers first took Landon Christopher Jensen, 23, into custody around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. Jensen had been serving a community corrections sentence for auto theft, driving under the influence with a previous DUI and eluding a police officer.
Jensen, who has been arrested numerous times on theft, assault and alcohol-related charges, managed to get his hands in the front of his body and escape out of an open window in the back of a police cruiser, which was stopped at a light at 28th and Canyon. He was re-arrested at Larkburger after a brief chase.
According to the police report, during the ride to the jail, Jensen told officers, “I made you guys work for it today. I wasn’t trying to run from you guys. Just the circumstances, I didn’t want to go back to prison.”
