Get the paddle wagon.
Wild video shows two Florida police officers jumping on paddleboards to chase a suspect who jumped in a river to escape arrest.
A Volusia County deputy and Daytona Beach Shores cop were reading Chase Cruz, 28, his Miranda rights on Monday when he suddenly raced off toward the Halifax River, the sheriff’s office said.
“We got one running,” the cop yells in his radio as he gives chase.
An aerial video then shows the two law enforcement officers on boards paddling towards Cruz as he floats in his clothes in the murky water.
He appears to hold his arms out to the officers as they approach, according to the clip.
One officer jumps in the water and puts a flotation device around Cruz, the video shows.
The cop helps him up on a board before the trio make their slow paddle back to a dock where other officers were waiting.
Cruz was charged with loitering and prowling and resisting arrest, the sheriff’s office said.
