Dramatic new body camera footage shows the moment a fleeing Michigan suspect jumps into the murky Kalamazoo River to evade police after a small traffic stop — and never resurfaces, according to police.
Kalamazoo police officers said the unidentified suspect sped away from officers around 4:30 p.m. on New Year’s Day when they attempted to pull him over on his motorcycle for a “license plate violation,” prompting a chase. high speed.
But the man’s luck ran out when his bike broke down, forcing the suspect (in a white T-shirt, dark pants and white sneakers) to run through a local park and cross a pedestrian bridge with police hot on his heels.
That’s when he was seen diving into the Kalamazoo, and officers yelled at him to stop as he tried to swim away.
“The river current pushed him downstream and officers observed him submerge and he did not surface,” police said in a Facebook post.
“Several agents entered the river in an attempt to rescue the individual. However, it was not found.”
