The Wharton Police Department was reportedly challenged by Jason San Miguel to find him after he was put on notice that he was wanted on a burglary charge. He bragged to the cops that he doubted they were capable of finding and arresting him.

“I would when I feel like it.” San Miguel allegedly replied when an officer suggested that he turns himself in.

A photo was posted by the Wharton Police Department on Facebook of their “hide-and-seek challenge”, along with a picture that clearly showed what looked to be San Miguel’s car.

“What he forgot was that our department is more than 18,000 strong, because each of you made the choice to police WITH us,” The Wharton Police Department Officers said.

“Together, we’re a team that not even Gerrit Cole can strikeout,” police wrote online, talking about the Houston Astros ace pitcher.

Apparently, San Miguel was not really good at hiding even with his bold boasts that he will never be caught. Police officers said they caught him in just a few hours in the attic of his home in Wharton, a city approximately 60 miles southwest of Houston – and it was probably the first place the police looked.

“To all who shared this post, and our officers who had to brave the itchy insulation that Jason exposed them to,” the Investigators have sincerely expressed their thanks.
