Efrain Martinez, 44, was wanted for a burglary that took place at a home in Del Rey on Tuesday. When Fresno County Sheriff's deputies attempted to pull him over, he led them on a chase through downtown Fresno, hitting several cars before hopping onto Highway 99.
Martinez eventually ended up in the San Joaquin River where he jumped in, tried to swim across and even tried taking a canoe. Once Martinez made it to shore, a K-9 officer took him down. He was booked on several charges.
The Fig Garden Golf Club and Scout Island were placed on lockdown during the incident.
