I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for lam that I've seen before include "Escape, get away" , "On this, you're fleeing, from the police" , "On this, you're in flight, especially from the police" , "Hit hard or repeatedly" , "pelt" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate, the Universal, The Washington Post, the USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.
