Baggy pants trip fleeing suspect

An Atlanta man trying to escape from police tripped and fell as he tried to hold his baggy pants up, officers said.

Emmanuel Uzowihe, 21, allegedly pointed a gun at the police officers as he lay on the ground, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. He was shot and wounded.

The incident near the Fulton County Courthouse began when police tried to pull Uzowihe over because of a traffic violation. He allegedly stopped his white Toyota sedan but jumped out and ran away.

Anthony Gentile, a police investigator, said that an officer followed Uzowihe, ordering him several times to stop.

Darrell Jackson said he saw Uzowihe run past, cursing. Other witnesses and police said that he already allegedly had his gun out while he was running.

He was running pretty fast, Jackson said. The only thing that messed him up is he was trying to pull his pants up.
