Photos show alleged shooter’s embarrassing capture — as he tried hiding from cops in ‘remarkably small’ dryer
Maybe he just needed to dry out.
A 31-year-old Florida shooting suspect was nabbed by cops hiding out inside a tiny clothes dryer.
David Jerome Jackson, who was wanted for a March 15 shooting inside a Pensacola home tried to dodge the cops by hiding inside an impossibly small dryer on Friday — but couldn’t spin his way out of trouble.
“After an extensive search, deputies proceeded to the laundry room, where they finally discovered Jackson, folded, not so neatly inside a remarkably small dryer drum,” the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook. “The look on his face, a combination of guilt, embarrassment, and warm hosiery.
“He was pulled from the dryer one limb at a time, as he clung to his tumble-ready hideout,” the department said. “Outside the dryer, deputies removed three dryer sheets, two mismatched socks, and a crumpled-up tissue from his surprisingly wrinkled Star Wars shirt.”
The sheriff’s office said Jackson was sought on charges of aggravated assault with a weapon, damage to property and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in the two-month-old shooting.
Jackson is now being held on $120,000 bail at the Escambia County Jail, records show.
“As always the case, all suspects are presumed innocent and free of static cling,” the sheriff’s office quipped on Facebook.
