FOX: A man in Missouri was arrested after attempting to escape from police by floating down a river to flee a traffic stop on Friday, according to officials.
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook the incident unfolded around 8:30 a.m. when the 38-year-old man attempted to escape from police by floating down the Bourbeuse River.
The incident happened near the town of Union, located about 50 miles west of St. Louis.
Maj. Trevor Wild, of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the man drove through a hayfield and ditched his car Friday morning before he attempted to swim down the river. more here
Well, he’s for sure in hot water now!
*tch!* EVERYONE knows you cut a reed and breathe through it while lying underwater covered with mud to avoid the dogs, says every movie and cartoon EVER…
…amateur…;)
Some great comments in there.
“That was a Catch and Release part of the River”
“He must have been White…He could float”
(By the Time They Arrested Him, His BAC was down to .007% )
…would have been WAY cooler if he had one of THESE…

Floating down river after fleeing traffic stop is a sure way to get sent up the river.
The movie ‘Outlaw Josie Wales’comes to mind.
…there’s a “poop don’t float” joke in there somewhere…
Erik…. Erik!
If this had happened in Cleveland on the Cuyahoga River you could say that he’d be up shit creek without a paddle. And if this was in the Philippines in Olongapo City where Shit River is he’d be dead or near dead from all the contaminants and crap in the polluted water and have to be inoculated for every disease known to man.
Haaa! Monkey, it wasn’t me!
“That’s what we call a Missouri boat ride.”
I give him an a for effort and a d for execution.
He did it wrong. He should have had a guest in the car and run it into the river before getting out and leaving her.
Only A Kennedy would try and get away with that.
And no shots were fired? Bummer.

Must not have been a negro …
