Florida Man tries to swim away from police. Wanted man arrested after jumping into Intracoastal Waterway in Volusia
Volusia County, Florida is northeast of Orlando, and includes Deltona and Daytona Beach.
The guy in question had federal warrants, so Daytona Beach police were following him, when he decided to flee. He rammed into several vehicles. He tried to swim away.
During the chase, Sotelo drove to a mobile home park at 2351 S. Ridgewood Ave., exited his vehicle and jumped into a river, authorities said.
According to deputies, Sotelo swam for about 15 to 20 minutes before surrendering and climbing into a U.S. Coast Guard boat.
This article says "river" but other articles reference the Intercoastal Waterway. I'm not familiar with that part of the IC, but over by Tampa I have seen both gators and sharks in the Intercoastal. Neither of those showed up to convince him of the error of his ways.
