According to reports, the 29-year-old man Watt continued to harass his ex-girlfriend, so the other party applied to the court for a protective restraining order to prohibit him from approaching. However, on September 27, Watt violated the ban for the third time and tried to talk to his ex-girlfriend, so he was hunted down by the police.

Unexpectedly, in order to evade the police, Watt escaped into a large cornfield maze in the city of Petaluma. The labyrinth covers an area of about 16,000 square meters, and the internal roads are narrow, and it takes the average tourist an average of 45 minutes to walk the entire distance.

Crosby, a local police officer, said, "I went to the maze with my kids when I got off work, and it was a good hiding place with very narrow roads inside. ”

Later, the police divided into two ways and entered the maze with maps to hunt down Watt. In addition, they dispatch patrol helicopters to wander above the maze in search of the suspects.

However, after 2 hours, the police still found nothing, and the fuel tank of the patrol helicopter also bottomed out, which made the police feel disheartened.

However, just when the police were about to give up, a policeman found a chicken coop outside the maze and decided to go inside to have a look, only to find Watt inside. In the end, the police arrested him on charges of violating restraining orders and refusing to arrest, ending the ridiculous police chase.
