Drug suspect jumps into sea to evade cops, fails to spot huge shark
A suspect who jumped into the ocean to evade police swam for more than a kilometre alongside a shark and appeared completely oblivious to the danger.
Zachary Kingsbury, 20, was pulled over in Surf City, North Carolina, on Wednesday and was asked to step out of his car after police discovered contraband.
He then fled on foot and a Surf City Police Department drone captured him swimming out to sea for more than an hour, WBTV reported.
A shark can be seen swimming alongside Kingsbury at one point as he paddles further out.
After he swam for an hour, Coast Guard crews were sent out to help him back to shore.
He was tracked using a drone and the arrest quickly became a "rescue operation."
Kingsbury was taken into custody at 7.45pm and is facing several drug-related charges.
