An Oklahoma copper theft suspect escaped through a closed window but was caught after leaving his backpack with his driver's license inside.

An Oklahoma copper theft suspect dived headfirst through a closed window to escape a deputy on 1 October. Rayven Lee Wooten, 24, of Nicoma Park, was found allegedly stealing copper wire from a dishwasher in a vacant home on Sunset Lane when the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office deputy confronted him. The deputy ordered Wooten repeatedly to put his hands out of his pockets and get on his knees, but Wooten instead ran through the kitchen and crashed through the closed living room window.

Wooten initially escaped, but he left his backpack behind containing his driver's license, which helped deputies track him down. The sheriff's office shared bodycam video of the incident and commented that the suspect 'missed his calling as a Hollywood stuntman'.
