Fleeing fugitive jumps in river near police boat
A man in Omak, Washington had his getaway come to a quick end on 8/7/13. After fleeing the local Wal-Mart and struggling with a security guard in the process, he elected to jump into the Okanogan River to make his escape. Before jumping into the river, however; he failed to notice the police boat puttering around nearby…until he started floating downstream towards it. The Colville Tribal Police vessel, which was there to assist people practicing for the Omak Stampede and World Famous Suicide Run, didn’t even have to move. Once the idiot floated close enough, they wasted no time in plucking the moron out of the water, and sending him to jail to steam over his failed getaway.
