Boater's Escape From Deputies Doesn't Go Well

A man suspected of operating a boat while drunk almost immediately regretted his decision to try to flee deputies. Robert Callahan of Oregon jumped into the water from his boat rather than submit to a sobriety test, authorities tell Redding Record Searchlight. He made it about 50 yards before asking a deputy to come pluck him out of California's Lake Shasta. Once on the patrol boat, the 31-year-old was shown to have a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.29%, according to deputies. He was booked into Shasta County Jail, as was the boat's owner, per KRCR. Rylie Hogue, also 31, was arrested for public intoxication. Authorities say he was too drunk to operate the boat. (More weird crimes stories.)
