Authorities in New York say a 21-year-old man who jumped into the Hudson River to escape police got all wet for nothing. The man was riding in a car Wednesday afternoon when it was pulled over by police in Rensselaer, across the Hudson River from Albany. Police say he bolted from the car's passenger side and ran toward the river, where he jumped in near a bridge. The current carried him about 250 feet down river before he was able to grab onto a branch. Police finally managed to pull him from the 50-degree water. Authorities say the man thought there was a warrant out for his arrest. There wasn't. The man was taken to a hospital for an examination.
Police in DeKalb County, Georgia, are looking for the crooks who broke into 36 police cars. The official vehicles were in the county's maintenance yard. A worker found the trunks open, windows smashed and locks popped. Police say some of their radios, a police jacket, a laptop, a GPS unit and a camera are missing. Authorities don't know how the thieves got into the secured lot, which is also patrolled by private security guards.
