Police: Suspect spray-paints face to avoid arrest

MADERA, Calif. - A man suspected of stealing a car spray-painted his face in an attempt to evade police in Central California.

Maybe he should have spray-painted the car instead?

The Fresno Bee reported that 23-year-old Jose Espinoza ran from police after being caught with a stolen car.

Officers caught up to Espinoza and arrested him Saturday night with his face painted black.

Police booked Espinoza into the Madera County Department of Corrections.
