PORT RICHEY, Fla. - A Pasco County man was arrested with his own handcuffs after flagging down a deputy in an attempt to help get them off.
The sheriff's office reports that 25-year-old Shawn Martines chased down a deputy's patrol car on his bike Tuesday night, hoping the deputy would take off the cuffs.
Martines told the deputy that he allowed a woman to put the cuffs on him, thinking they were fake.
Besides being real, the woman didn't have a key. Martines apparently picked one cuff but then went for help with the second.
Before uncuffing Martines, the deputy asked to pat the man down for weapons. That's when the officer reportedly found a hypodermic needle and nine Xanax pills.
The deputy then put the loose cuff back on Martines' free wrist and took him to jail on drug charges.
Martines left jail on $2,150 bond.
