In early April, police were involved in a chase after a driver pulled over and then sped off. The suspect's Camaro lost control and rolled through several yards near Southeast 44th Street and Sunnylane Road in Del City.
The driver, Christopher Johnson, was rescued from the wreck and then arrested.
Officers, however, had to search for a passenger who ran from the scene. After more than 30 minutes of searching, officers found the passenger hiding in a garbage bin next to a home.
Johnson pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of endangering others while eluding police.
The video that the Oklahoma City Police Department released on Wednesday shows the aftermath of the crash as well as officers taking the passenger into custody. The yellow Camaro was totaled, and an officer can be seen holding up the lid to the garbage bin while another put the suspect into handcuffs.
