Pittsburgh Police Cruiser lined up with others on the side of a Pittsburgh street.

If you’re looking to go to prison, even though you haven’t done anything wrong, the best thing to do is just walk into the prison and maybe ask for a tour. That’s not what this man from Pittsburgh did though. He chose the path most likely to land him in a prison cell.

Innocent? Here’s Not How To Get Into Pittsburgh Police’s Jail

Charles Felder is a 34-year-old man from Pittsburgh. Charles was arrested Saturday morning for trying to break INTO jail.

Felder really felt like he needed to get into the jail at four o’clock in the morning. Allegheny County Police Department said on Facebook they were alerted to a man who was attempting to break into the lobby of the jail. At around 7 a.m., police responded to the man breaking in and found him with minor injuries.

After investigation, they found that Felder used garbage cans as battering rams to get in. He also was seen on video surveillance kicking the doors in. He even went as far as breaking the handle off. Charles tried to get in for three hours before he exhausted himself and passed out.

He Finally Ended Up In Jail

After the police discovered Felder trying to break into the lobby of the jail, they called the paramedics. When paramedics arrived, Felder was not happy with their presence and started spitting in their faces, according to WPXI News.

He was taken to the local hospital to treat his minor injuries. Then Charles Felder got his wish, he was taken to jail. He faces charges of harassment and burglary, police said.

As for why he wanted to get into the jail lobby so badly is still unknown to us, but it’s also certain alcohol or possible drug use was involved.

Nevada: Do We Have The Nation’s Best-Looking Police Cruiser?

Each state possesses unique features that distinguish it from others, and this extends to its state patrol vehicles. Over the past decade, the American Association of State Troopers has organized an annual competition to determine the best-looking patrol cruiser among the states.

Virtually all state police agencies participate by submitting a photo of their finest patrol vehicle in hopes of having it featured on the association’s yearly calendar. The sales of this calendar contribute to the American Association of State Troopers Foundation, which offers educational scholarships to dependents of troopers who are association members.

According to the association’s website, the contest initially started as a friendly rivalry between the state agencies, but it has evolved into an enjoyable and positive way for community members to support and engage with law enforcement.

Who won the Best Looking Patrol Cruiser contest last year?

In the previous year, Kentucky secured the cover spot on the 2023 calendar as the winner of the contest. However, this year, the competition is fierce, and Nevada seems to be a strong contender. As of yesterday, at around 4 p.m., Nevada had taken the lead with over 104,700 votes, though Florida was close behind, trailing by only about 60 votes.

The current top 5 states in the contest are Nevada, Florida, California, Indiana, and Kentucky. To boost their chances, the Nevada State Police are actively encouraging their supporters to cast their votes through their social media channels, where they have gained substantial attention and positive feedback.

Someone commented on Facebook, “At first I liked the navy-blue vehicles but those silver/grey ones are pretty awesome and kinda blend in very well.” Another person prefers the beauty of the patrol cruiser from a distance. Most of us would agree unless you enjoy the view of flashing lights from your rearview mirror.

The contest attracts a significant number of votes daily, making it a highly engaging event. Anyone can participate by casting their vote until July 31, with Survey Monkey’s rules allowing only one vote per device during the contest period. You can cast your vote here.

Take a look at some of the competition below.
