A man who fled after being stopped by traffic officers in Mississippi was apparently so focused on getting away that he unknowingly ran into a police academy.

Roger Beasley Jr was stopped by officers on US 90 in Biloxi, and promptly jumped from his vehicle and ran, a spokesman said.

According to police, the 30-year-old did not notice marked police cars outside the Harrison County Law Enforcement Training Academy. He ran into the building while training was in session - and was arrested.
