The police actually did the guy a favor, getting him stopped when they did. They were all heading NW on taxiway "alpha", and had the guy continued NW and off the end of "alpha" he would have shot off the elevated end of the airport and on to Shorecrest Drive, about 30 feet below the grade of the runway. Splat!
