Crazy footage showed a Texas man’s outrageous attempt to outwit a police robot, which ended with him being gassed and rammed by the droid.
Felix Delarosa, 39, was arrested after opening fire on police in Lubbock, Texas, and the incident escalated into a standoff with SWAT, according to Local station KCBD.
Delarosa opened fire on anti-gang officers who tried to communicate with him at a hotel where he was staying and repeatedly refused to follow orders from SWAT negotiators.
This prompted police to send in their bomb squad robot, which also shot the wanted man.
As the robot approached Delarosa’s room, the former inmate could be seen stepping out to cover the robot with what appeared to be a blanket or towel.

Delarosa seemed to think he had defeated the machine, but the officer controlling it shook the cloth and fired tear gas into his room through an open window.
The convict could then be seen crawling through the open window and falling to the ground.
A disoriented Delarosa covered his face and struggled to get up, but the robot began to crawl over him, pulling down his shorts and revealing his red underwear.
He continued to charge at him and eventually cornered him against a wall so SWAT officers could safely enter and make an arrest.
Delarosa is now charged with aggravated assault against a public servant after a confrontation that lasted nearly two hours.

Delarosa did not follow police orders, but emerged from his room waving a Bible in the air.
Police said Delarosa shot at officers multiple times.
The wanted man later attempted to evade a police report by covering himself with a blanket.
Police had originally gone looking for Delarosa because there was a warrant out for his arrest for violating his probation for tampering with his electronic monitoring device.
In 2017, Delarosa was sentenced to 20 years in prison for manufacturing and distributing a controlled substance.
Delarosa was released from prison and placed on parole in April 2022, according to state prison records.
