LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police say handcuffs weren't enough to stop one Louisville suspect from making a mad dash for freedom.

It happened late Thursday night on Kilmory Ave., near Downes Lane and Macalester Dr.

Police say Elykon Green was handcuffed in the back seat of a police car, when he moved the cuffs to his front and took off running.

Police demanded that he stop, but he refused. Officers were finally able to subdue him.

Green allegedly told police he had a warrant and didn't want to go to jail.

He's been charged with escape and fleeing and evading police.
