A Massachusetts man who was wanted for driving his car over the foot of a Massachusetts State Police officer last week was arrested mid-police chase when he stopped to apply for a job.
State police said they were in the middle of a car chase with Jose Jimenez, 26, when he stopped to fill out an application at Osprey Wireless in Westwood, Massachusetts, on Tuesday.
Jimenez, who was wanted for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, was arrested inside the store.

Police say that the man from Lawrence, Massachusetts, had fled a motor vehicle stop last Thursday, running over a trooper’s foot with his green 1999 Toyota Camry as he drove away.
Troopers spotted him on Tuesday morning and took part in a car chase until Jimenez abandoned his vehicle outside Weston’s Peterson School and ran into the nearby Osprey Wireless.
Osprey employees told CBS Boston that Jimenez asked several people if they had any open positions and started filling out an application.

Witnesses said police were ‘coming in from every direction’.
Officials finally approached Jimenez as he filled out the job application and said ‘let’s go’, and he was taken into custody without further incident.
Jimenez is being held on a $250,000 cash bail and will be arraigned in Quincy District Court on Wednesday.
He was charged with failure to stop for police, operating a motor vehicle after revocation, operating to endanger, and speeding, as well as the assault with a vehicle charge from last week.
