A Timaru man thought he was Luke Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard when he slid across the bonnet of a police car on Saturday night.

Timaru Senior Sergeant Randel Tikitiki said the man swore at police and dared them to arrest him on King St at 12.40pm.

"He also performed a sexy pole dance before running off down the street," Tikitiki said.

His "hood slide" across the police car earned the man a charge of disorderly behaviour.
