One hid in a port-a-potty, but quick-thinking golfers on a nearby golf course beat the suspect at hide-and-seek and tipped the port-a-potty on its side so responding officers could cuff him.

The suspect is seen climbing out and surrendering to officers closing in with guns drawn, which was depicted in Julie Olson's funny Playmobil scene on her Facebook page called "Mommy Plays Playmobil" with the caption, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
