No one escapes arrest... and that goes for Chihuahuas, too.

According to officials, the dog, now nicknamed Ponch after an officer from the TV show CHiPs, was seen running against traffic on the Bay Bridge, from Oakland toward San Francisco.
Footage shows officers tailing the Chihuahua in both a motorcycle and a police car.
No other cars were on the bridge at the time, and the tiny dog was seen crossing from lane to lane until he was eventually collared and brought to the San Francisco Animal Care and Control.
The CHP tweeted that the black Chihuahua did not receive a ticket, but they did give him a verbal warning that went: "Woof, woof, WOOF!"
The dog was reportedly not microchipped. He was wearing a tag with a skull but no other identification or contact information.
