One-armed fugitive who drank battery acid charged

by | 13th, July 2012

DR Richard Kimble can rest easy. Police have found the one-armed fugitive, hiding in a Portland, Oregon, shed.

Suspected armed burglar Tyler Levi Brant was desperate to evade the cops. He spotted a shed and hid inside. Hours passed by. It was hot.  He was thirsty. So. He drank whatever liquids he could finds, including petrol, vinegar, motor oil and carburetor fluid.

Brant was taken to hospital. He was then taken to Multnomah County Jail and – as anyone who has been drinking battery fluid might suspect –  charged with first degree robbery and first degree burglary.

Had Brant only found some rocket fuel he might have been let off…
