A man got himself into a Disney-esque situation after fleeing from authorities while wearing a Dalmatian onesie and a single handcuff.
Dylan Keith Devereaux, 36, is in the doghouse after he was caught speeding by Florida Highway Patrol – but escaped as he was in the process of being handcuffed, NeedToKnow reports.
Deveraux had been erratically driving a red pickup truck on a highway near Hudson before authorities were alerted to his behaviour.

As he was pursued by highway patrol with their lights on, the suspect crashed into a tree.
While he was apprehended at the scene and tasered, he began to fight back as he was being placed in handcuffs.
Despite being tasered again, Deveraux managed to escape and run in the direction of his home on Girard Road.
In a further bid to evade capture, he ran into a forest area.
Authorities proceeded to go to his house where Deveraux’s partner, Megan Elizabeth Hamilton, 31, explained that she could not let them inside because of the presence of drugs.
She insisted that he was not home when questioned and expressed concern about what he might do if they stepped inside.
A further search of the woodland area saw Deveraux arrested.
He was reportedly wearing a lanyard containing meth and an unidentified white substance around his neck, as well as his Dalmatian onesie.
The handcuffs, however, had been disposed of.
Deveraux is charged with 13 offences, including reckless driving, battery and assault on an officer, and possession of methamphetamine and a new, illegal substance.
He is now incarcerated at Pasco Detention Center where his partner has also been taken into custody.
