One patella, two patella…
But they came so fast, it’s like they flu by…

So, “A bet is a bet” does not get you off the hook.
I think the paper was quoting the police as to what the man told them, rather than quoting the man directly.
With apologies to Foreigner:

Cue Patsy and Eddie:
Legs on fire,
runnin’ down the road.
Best notify the next kin,
crack pipe will explode.
