00:00Well, a dude in Arkansas may remind you of some sort of classic movie icon when you see
00:11how he reacts during a traffic stop.
00:15Here's that story now.
00:16It's a routine traffic stop for passing a stop sign.
00:19No big deal until the guy in the back seat jumps out, drops his backpack, and takes off
00:26like a bat out of hell.
00:28Remind you of anything?
00:30It was a total Forrest Gump moment from the 1994 hit Tom Hanks movie.
00:37Sergeant Jared Huffman of the Pottsville, Arkansas Police Department had a bit of thought.
00:42He's running.
00:43It's really hard not to make a Forrest Gump reference while he was running.
00:46So, why in the world did he hightail it across the field like that?
00:50What was in the backpack?
00:51A sandwich, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, some corn chips, a flashlight.
00:56So nothing illegal.
00:58Not a thing.
00:58The dude has been identified as Zachary Diminigas.
01:02Today, in a Facebook exchange with Johnson, he denied he had a gun, which provoked him to flee.
01:08For the record, it was my cell phone I had in my hand, and also the officer never once told me to stop.
01:14He said, keep running.
01:15Keep running.
01:16By the way, the police sergeant does a pretty good imitation of Forrest Gump.
01:21Run, Forrest, run.
01:23Now, in another part of the video, you see a lady get out of the driver's door in high heels.
01:28She claimed that they were on their way to church.
01:29He had a chick with him.
01:33That's so crazy.
01:34Is he still way back there running?
01:38Where'd he go?
01:39She's, like, laughing about it.
01:41Look at her.
01:42She's like, yep.
01:43That's my boyfriend.
01:45Hey, you won't stop doing this.
01:48I mean, he took off.
01:50He did.
01:51He had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
01:53I thought for sure it was, like, loaded full of drugs.
01:55Me too.
01:56And there was just, like, a flashlight.
01:57A flashlight, peanut butter, jelly, and what else?
01:59There was, like, three things in there.
02:01And, like, honestly, there probably were just...
02:03Corn chips.
02:05What was in the backpack?
02:06A sandwich.
02:07Peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
02:08Some corn chips.
02:09A flashlight.
02:11So nothing else.
02:12That's it.
02:13That's it.
02:14What?
02:14So all he did was go through a stop sign?
02:17Maybe he had something illegal on him.
02:19My guess is he had more.
02:21I guess he had more on it.
02:22I could watch him get out of this car all day long.
02:24It's a routine traffic stop from passing a stop sign.
02:27No big deal.
02:28Behind the driver.
02:29Until the guy in the back seat jumps out, drops his back.
02:32Back out!
02:33And takes off like a bat out of hell.
02:35Remind you of anything?
02:37Good, Forrest Gump!
02:39Yep.
02:40It was a total Forrest Gump moment from the 1994 hit...
02:43Watch him run across the field.
02:45This is my favorite.
02:46Sergeant Jared Huffman of the Pottsville, Arkansas Police Department...
02:49Look at him go across the field.
02:51Oh, my God.
02:52It was really hard not to make a Forrest Gump reference while he...
02:55That guy's fast.
02:56He was fast.
02:57He was amazing.
02:59The look on his face is an incredible moment in time.
03:03He ran a stop sign and he...
03:07I don't know where he ended up.
03:09I don't know.
03:10I want to know what happened to him.
03:11They caught him.
03:12They identified him, right?
03:15On my way to church.
03:16Oh!
03:18Logo!
03:19Yeah.
03:20Oh, man.
03:21Amazing.
03:21Cops are pulling us over, huh?
03:23When did you know that I'm running?
03:25I didn't do this.
03:26Oh, well.
03:26I know.
03:27I think you did like a lot of laugh faces, Dave.
03:29Yeah, I'm really laughing.
03:30It's really funny.
03:31You can go check this out.
03:33Look for Dave and Chuck on Twitter.
03:34You'll find it there now because you have to see this for yourself, please.
03:38It's pretty amazing.
03:40That's great.
03:41I'm going to retweet that.
03:42So, so funny.
03:44He is totally Forrest Gump.
03:47Yeah.
03:47He really is.
03:49As somebody who just started jogging, I'm jealous of how fast he was.
03:52He was pretty quick.
03:54He was booking it.
03:55Like that cop was like, I'm not chasing him.
03:57There's no chance.
03:58Yeah, the cop didn't even try that.
03:59I thought you always had to.
04:01There was somebody else in the car.
04:02So yeah, his whole thing is it's a, it's a passenger.
04:06So this whole get up is something, you know, he expected to find drugs in that backpack.
04:12And the fact that he, there was nothing in there that cop.
04:15That's the only, the other thing I'm like, did he throw the bag in hopes that that would
04:19be like a distraction?
04:21I mean, honestly, the guy, if he had a bunch of drugs on him, did the right thing.
04:25Probably for his sake, I guess.
04:27Someone said he's still running.
04:29You might be, you never know.
