'I took that bat and hit him upside the head like 'pi-yah!' He said "Ow!"' Gainey recounted to WGFL.
Mosley ended up running to a nearby mobile home park but ended up leaving behind his pants, shirt and a sock, giving the police K-9 unit plenty of ways to track his scent.
He was caught relatively quickly and was found to be wearing a new pair of pants.
Police also found cocaine in his pocket.
