A fugitive who fled police by jumping over walls and fences was caught nine hours later after a car chase along farm tracks.
Lewis Brown shook off two officers when they tried to handcuff him outside his former partner's house in Bideford after a domestic incident.
He was found driving a Volkwagen car on the edge of Barnstaple and tried to give police the slip by driving down country lanes at up to 50 mph.
He came close to hitting two pedestrians after his front tyres were punctured by a stinger device and carried on across a farm track when they shredded and fell off.
