In Lewiston, Idaho officer Thomas Woods got a bit of a surprise when a young man came bounding out of the trunk of his mom’s car intent on escaping. Left to right from the top we see Woods touch the lid. The man inside, Jesse Harnell, tries to bound out but Woods slams the lid back down. Trouble is Harnell, 20, has his leg in the way. It causes Woods to stumble and Harnell is out of the trunk. After a struggle he was put in cuffs by backup police. Woods had stopped the car because he knew it was driven by Harnell’s mother. When he heard a noise in the trunk, he asked her if her son was in there. Angelia Barnett-Harrell, 47, immediately responded, “It’s a toy gun, don’t shoot him.” Police confirm it was a realistic looking toy gun. See video
