Andrew Smith found himself stuck neck-deep in a swamp.
A criminal fleeing the police in Florida, USA, found himself in a bit of a sticky situation recently.
On Wednesday, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office shared a video of the suspect stuck neck-deep in a swamp. According to the Sheriff's Office, the suspect, identified as Paul Andrew Smith, got out of his vehicle and ran on foot when police officers tried to stop his speeding truck on Tuesday. He was wanted for a case in Hernando County, reports

After a short chase, however, the two deputies and the police dog chasing him found him stuck neck-deep in a swamp.
A video recorded by the K-9 handler's body camera shows the dog, Knox, finding Mr Smith in the swamp, where he was submerged up to his neck in thick mud.
However, what surprised the viewers was Mr Smith's insistence that the police do not handcuff him "too tight."
"I don't care," he is heard saying in the video when police officers warn him that he would get tased for his non-cooperation. "Tase me."
