POLICE knew something smelled off as they arrested the passenger of a stolen car.
That might have had something to do with the fact they found him submerged in a huge pile of slurry, leaving him covered in cow poo from the neck down.
Sussex Police shared an image of the stinky subject in handcuffs, with his clothes covered from top to bottom in putrid brown sludge.
A force spokesman said: "This passenger of a stolen car thought he could get away, but it turned out not to be his lucky day.
"Eager to evade and fleeing in a hurry, the suspect was eventually arrested, neck-deep in a pit of slurry.
"Thanks to determined officers a rescue ensued, and they all ended up safe, but covered in cow poo."
Sussex Police have been contacted for further comment.
