Florida authorities said a 28-year-old man jumped into the St. Johns River in an attempt to avoid capture after leading deputies in a pursuit across multiple Central Florida counties on Saturday.
Oscar Dominique Leonides was in the water for about an hour before he was eventually taken into custody on Saturday night, a spokesperson for the Seminole County Sheriff's Office previously told FOX 35.
Leonides was booked into jail on counts of fleeing and eluding police and for possession of methamphetamine and fentanyl.
According to the arrest report, the Orange County Sheriff's Office's helicopter was in pursuit of a stolen truck. The pursuit entered Seminole County, where deputies attempted to deploy "stop sticks" and to pull the driver over, but the driver continued to speed and evade authorities, the report said.
Deputies were able to successfully use stop sticks on SR-415 to stop the vehicle, where Leonides then got out of the vehicle and jumped into the river, according to a spokesperson.
Cutting the methamphetamine with fentanyl or cutting the fentanyl with methamphetamine either way it’s all Floyded up.

With him it looks like the alligators would be more in danger from eating him than he would be in danger from the alligators.
Fatal hairball impaction in the lower gut?

“Isn’t jumping into any body of water in Florida a bit of a dangerous proposition?”
Yep - especially when one smells like chum
AFAIC, the ONLY one, who can get away with that particular look is Robert Smith of The Cure. :P
Good effort. Sometimes you win, sometimes not.
