Oddities: Police say man jumped over 12-foot wall twice during chase
SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) — Police in Maryland say a burglary suspect jumped over a 12-foot (4-meter) wall twice during a chase before being captured. Montgomery County police said in a press release 56-year-old Steven Anderson is charged with burglary and assault.
The Washington Post reports the "startling display of acrobatics" happened Oct. 19 in Silver Spring. An officer with a K-9 tracked down Anderson. Police say he then "jumped over an approximately 12-foot wall," but jumped back over when he encountered more officers on the other side.
The newspaper reports the world high-jump record is just over 8-feet (2.4-meters) so it's unlikely Anderson cleared the wall in a single bound. It's unclear how it was climbed. Jail records didn't list an attorney who could comment on Anderson's behalf. ___ Information from: The Washington Post, http://www.washingtonpost.com
