Copper theft suspect's desperate escape caught on bodycam video before deputies discover what he left behind

HONESTLY I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS ONE, WE ARE TALKING OKLAHOMA WHERE SOME GUY RAYVEN LEE WOOTEN WAS AT A VACANT HOUSE ON SUNSET LANE STEALING COPPER WIRE FROM A DISHWASHER WHICH IS SO WEIRD BECAUSE WHO TARGETS APPLIANCES? A DEPUTY SHOWED UP AND TOLD HIM TO GET ON HIS KNEES BUT INSTEAD THE GUY LITERALLY DIVED HEADFIRST THROUGH A CLOSED WINDOW TO ESCAPE, WHICH IS SOME ACTION MOVIE GARBAGE, BUT HERE IS THE KICKER—HE LEFT HIS BACKPACK BEHIND WITH HIS ID INSIDE SO THEY TRACKED HIM DOWN IMMEDIATELY! LIKE HE DESTROYED A WHOLE WINDOW FOR NOTHING! IT IS JUST WILD TO ME THAT SOMEONE WOULD THINK THEY ARE MAKING A CLEAN GETAWAY WHILE LEAVING THEIR ENTIRE IDENTITY ON THE FLOOR! ANYWAY THIS SONG IS ACTUALLY MY FAVOURITE.

SO YOU KNOW HOW EVERYONE WAS SAYING THAT CRIME IS GETTING TOO COMPLEX WELL RAYVEN LEE WOOTEN IS PROVING THAT WRONG BECAUSE HE GOT CAUGHT STEALING COPPER FROM A VACANT HOME IN OKLAHOMA ON OCTOBER FIRST AND THE WHOLE THING WAS RECORDED ON BODYCAM, AND APPARENTLY HE THOUGHT THE BEST OPTION WAS TO LITERALLY LAUNCH HIMSELF THROUGH A CLOSED LIVING ROOM WINDOW! HE DIVED RIGHT THROUGH THE GLASS TO AVOID THE COPS BUT HE LEFT A BACKPACK WITH HIS ID INSIDE WHICH IS THE DUMBEST MOVE EVER BECAUSE NOW HE IS EASILY IDENTIFIED! THE ARTICLE SAYS HE WAS SUPPOSEDLY TAKING WIRE FROM A DISHWASHER BEFORE HE BOLTED AND NOW HE IS ON THE HOOK FOR IT. ANYWAY SOMEBODY HAS TO ANSWER FOR THAT.

Rayven Lee Wooten was caught on bodycam diving through a closed window to flee an Oklahoma deputy investigating a copper theft, but he left behind a backpack containing his ID.
