Florida man makes 'dirt angels' while hiding from cops following Christmas Eve crash
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. (WEAR) — Video shows a Florida man making "dirt angels" on a construction site as he hid from deputies after crashing his car on Christmas Eve.
Eliezer Armando Reyes Rios, 34, is charged with leaving the scene of an accident; driving with a canceled, suspended, or revoked license; and trespassing on a construction site, among other charges.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Reyes Rios was involved in a single-vehicle crash on Christmas Eve. He then ran from the scene as deputies arrived and were gathering information.
Reyes Rios climbed over a fence into a construction zone, where he was seen by the sheriff’s Aviation Unit lying in a pile of dirt.
At one point, Reyes Rios was seen making “dirt angels" while hiding in a culvert, according to the sheriff's office, before running again and hopping a fence. He was then confronted by deputies and taken into custody.
“Dashing away he hid in the dark. Down a pit in the soil he lay, at times perhaps feeling the holiday spirit, making ‘Dirt Angels’ & making calls on his phone,” the sheriff’s office wrote on Facebook. “Then he rose! He sprang to the fence, up & over, only to find, not eight tiny reindeer, but 3 deputies & one dutiful K-9.”
