John Pinney, 25, was arrested after the Monday stunt, which he live-streamed to his Facebook followers, [video shows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L%5FRD-ziEY5I "undefined"). Authorities say he jumped into the patrol car about 8 p.m. after an officer left her keys inside the unlocked car to get coffee, CBS News [reports](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/man-allegedly-steals-squad-car-posts-videos-as-police-chase-him/ "undefined"). “I’m in the cop car. Where’s my sirens at?” Pinney says in the footage. “You hear my sirens? Look, check it out. I can’t even believe that I’m doing this though, for real. I got away from like five cops already.” Pinney was arrested near his home after the roughly 40-minute pursuit. He appeared to say on [Facebook Live](http://time.com/4286999/facebook-live-streaming-video-guide-how/ "undefined") that boredom prompted the crime. “I ain’t got nothing else to do,” he says. He faces several charges, including eluding, resisting arrest and possession of a firearm by a felon. “I would encourage every criminal out there to Facebook Live their crimes so that we can catch you a lot easier and use that Facebook Live at your trial to get a better conviction,” Tulsa police sergeant Steve Stoltz told CBS. \[[_CBS_](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/man-allegedly-steals-squad-car-posts-videos-as-police-chase-him/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4554782/man-steals-cop-car-facebook-live/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4554782/man-steals-cop-car-facebook-live/"},"headline":"Man Steals Cop Car and Sings Country Songs on Facebook Live During Chase: Police","datePublished":"2016-11-02T15:03:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T10:21:55.304Z","description":"“I ain’t got nothing else to do\"","url":"https://time.com/4554782/man-steals-cop-car-facebook-live/","keywords":["Crime"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4554782/man-steals-cop-car-facebook-live/","name":"Man Steals Cop Car and Sings Country Songs on Facebook Live During Chase: Police"}}]}] ```
