FARGO, N.D. (AP) - Law enforcement officers have caught up with a man in Fargo who tried to avoid arrest by jumping into the Red River.

KFGO reports authorities say the 27-year-old man, who was wanted on a warrant, fled from a traffic stop in Moorhead, Minnesota Wednesday night and led police on a brief pursuit before jumping into the river and swimming across to Fargo.

That’s where he was arrested by Fargo police and Clay County sheriff’s deputies.
