Slow speed chase…in a pedal boat

If you're running from the cops, try not to switch to increasingly slow methods of transportation . . .

Two idiots in Canada robbed a bar on Friday and took off together on a motorcycle.  But they had to ditch it after they crashed into a cop car that was chasing them.  (It happened in Halifax, Nova Scotia, near Maine.)

One of them got arrested nearby, but the other guy took off on foot . . . and then decided his best chance was to SWIM to freedom.

He jumped in a small lake, and tried to swim to the other side to get away.  But it turned out he isn't a strong swimmer and couldn't swim very fast.

Two cops hopped in a PEDAL BOAT they found and started chasing him across the lake.  Another cop jumped in a canoe . . . and a fourth cop found a paddleboard to use.

By the time they got to him, he was struggling to keep his head up, and close to drowning.  So they tossed him a life vest, pulled him out, and took him to jail.  No word on what they're charging him with.
