A man who led deputies on a chase — first in a truck, and then on foot — said he “thought it would be fun” to run from the cops, according to a post from the Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office in Arkansas.

Neil Clem, 28, told the sheriff that he got that idea after he and a woman in his car were watching a reality TV show about police work, the sheriff’s office posted to Facebook.

“We was watching cops earlier and I have a warrant so I thought it would be fun,” Clem said, according to the statement. The sheriff’s office confirmed to McClatchy that Clem was referring to the “Cops” TV show.
