White dead beat dads can't jump - though drunk behind the wheel black drivers can, though not without getting banged up.

Apparently leaping from rooftops or over tall walls is now all the rage in police evasion in Middletown.

MIDDLETOWN ? A Middletown man running from police who jumped off a concrete wall onto a street below is in serious condition at a Dayton hospital.
Justin Castleman, 26, ran from Middletown officers at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday after police responding to a complaint of an alleged intoxicated man found Castleman asleep at the wheel of a running vehicle near the intersection of University and Roosevelt boulevards, said Middletown police Lt. Rodney Muterspaw in a news release.
Officers shot Castleman with a Taser gun ? a gunlike device that shoots barbs attached to wires that carry an electrical current ? which had no effect, according to police, when he allegedly tried to escape from officers who were trying to conduct a field sobriety test.
Castleman got away, jumped the guardrail and leaped approximately 25 feet from a concrete wall onto Crawford Street below, according to Muterspaw.
========================================
Castleman is the second local man flown to Miami Valley within the past several days who was injured while allegedly trying to escape police.
On Saturday, Christopher E. Watts, 32, of Franklin, tried to jump from the rooftop of a bar to the roof of an adjacent building. Instead, he fell 15 feet and became trapped between the two exterior walls of the businesses.
Watts was charged with obstructing official business by Franklin police. There was no listing of him Tuesday at Miami Valley, and Warren County jailers said he was not there either.

Yahoo -- Watts had been sentenced to probation in 2005 for failure to pay child support, court records show, and also was sentenced to spend Father's Days in jail during the five-year probation. Records show a warrant was issued for his arrest after he failed to turn himself into jail last June and moved without notifying a probation officer.
