A man in Manatee County attempted to flee and hide from deputies early Thursday morning, but thanks to their eyes in the sky, they were able to track the driver straight into the... pond?
That's right, as you'll see from this helicopter footage, the 42-year-old man not only drove his vehicle through a golf course but also straight into a pond. Despite exiting the truck and wading through the shallow waters, deputies were able to capture and arrest him.
Initially, the patrol deputies spotted a truck without headlights, driving on the wrong side of the road on Harrison Ranch Boulevard in Palmetto. That's when they attempted a traffic stop, and the man, later identified as 42-year-old William Ballard - fled.
