MIRAMAR, Fla. – While fleeing police Johnny Morris wound up outside a Miramar home when he was confronted by a 4-year-old boy.

Morris, who'd been driving a getaway car from an armed robbery, picked up the child and told him to "shhh," Miramar police said.

That’s when the child bit Morris, forcing the 18-year-old to drop him.

The child's mother then came into the room and pleads with Morris, who’d suggested he had a gun, not to hurt her or her son, according to police.

Attempting to conceal himself, Morris then removed all the clothes from the victim’s dryer, and tried to get in, police said.

When he realized he didn’t fit he forced his way into the residence, but the victim closed a rear sliding glass door on his foot several times until he left, police said.

Morris was spotted by police shortly after and taken into custody.

Prior to his arrest Morris was driving a white Nissan Altima which police said was involved in an armed robbery in Miramar.

He'd then attempted to flee from police in his vehicle before he fled on foot and wound up at the home in the 8500 block of Miramar Boulevard.

Following their arrest Morris and the passenger in his vehicle refused to speak to police in reference to the incident.

Police said the pair took an iPhone from a victim in an armed robbery.

Morris was arrested on charges that include armed robbery with a weapon, burglary to an occupied conveyance, obstruction without violence, fleeing law enforcement, disobeying traffic signals and reckless driving.
