This is a new one. Instead of fleeing arrest, a Moses Lake man crashed his car into a police parking lot gate to guarantee his arrest would happen. Officers inside the station heard the impact of the crash and responded immediately (very easy to do when it involves getting up and walking outside).

The gate to the police parking lot was destroyed and the culprit, Allen J. Pavese, was backing away from the scene in his Chevy truck. When police approached the suspect, he told the officers he'd purposely rammed the gate because he wanted to go to jail. No word on why the man wanted to go to jail, but the officers happily obliged. Pavese was arrested for DUI, malicious mischief, and property damage.
