His escape plan fizzled out fast.

A Nebraska man threw a can of White Claw hard seltzer at police in an attempt to avoid arrest last weekend, the local ABC affiliate reported.

Matthew Stinson, 35, reportedly walked into a motel lobby in Lincoln Sunday, waving a knife around and threatening to kill the clerk behind the desk. He eventually took off and threatened others in the area before fleeing.

Police managed to track down Stinson two miles away about six hours after his maniacal episode. As the officers approached him, Stinson hurled the yuppie drink of choice at the cops as he fled, police told the station.

But Stinson reportedly missed the officers, who chased him down and placed him under arrest after finding a folding pocket knife on his person.

Stinson faces charges for resisting arrest, making terroristic threats and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony.
