A Criminal Jumped in a Lake, so Cops Chased Him Down in a Pedal Boat
If you're running from the cops, try not to switch to increasingly slow methods of transportation . . .
Two idiots in Canada robbed a bar on Friday and took off together on a motorcycle. But they had to ditch it after they crashed into a cop car that was chasing them. (It happened in Halifax, Nova Scotia, near Maine.)
One of them got arrested nearby, but the other guy took off on foot . . . and then decided his best chance was to SWIM to freedom.
He jumped in a small lake, and tried to swim to the other side to get away. But it turned out he isn't a strong swimmer and couldn't swim very fast.
Two cops hopped in a PEDAL BOAT they found and started chasing him across the lake. Another cop jumped in a canoe . . . and a fourth cop found a paddleboard to use.
By the time they got to him, he was struggling to keep his head up, and close to drowning. So they tossed him a life vest, pulled him out, and took him to jail. No word on what they're charging him with.
