Local crime news: A police helicopter is hovering because a DUI suspect fled with sheriff's deputies in pursuit. a

The suspect crashed into a gate down at the river, and ran into the river, which happens to be full of water from the rain two nights ago.

He is apparently in the water, refusing to come out. They have him at gunpoint, but the deputies are refusing to go in the water and get him, so he's not listening to them.

At some point the fire department showed up and put some kind of float in the water. The deputies eventually got him out and arrested him.

The cops dilly dally while the fire department saves the day, as per usual.
