The Plano, Texas, detective, dressed in plain clothes but wearing his badge (徽章) and gun, caught the man and pinned him to the hood of his car. But Hoffman had trouble containing the thief, and they got into a struggle. The detective has a martial arts background, and he said he thought the suspect must have a martial arts background, too, because he was able to break away so easily, a Plano police spokesperson said.
