1:23Now PlayingA violent California felon desperate to get away with kidnapping a stranger and stealing beer from a gas station led police on a wild chase through an orchard last month — and even aimed a stolen gun at a pursuing helicopter.
Jason Benson Dingler, 43, allegedly carried out a series of petty crimes across the 16-hour spree before officers shot the fugitive on the side of a highway near Modesto, surveillance and bodycam footage released by the Stanislaus County Sheriff Monday shows.
Dingler kicked off the wild spree at a home in the central Californian city just after midnight Sept. 22., police said.
After loitering on the front porch for nearly an hour, a shirtless and filthy Dingler can be seen breaking down the door and breaking into the house as the homeowners were out of town.
Inside, he lifted “a firearm and several magazines of ammunition,” as well as a change of clothes, Sheriff Jeff Dirkse said.
Dingler allegedly used the stolen gun for his second crime: a kidnapping and grand theft auto roughly fourteen hours later and just a few blocks away.
