Shortly after 9:00am, Ada County Dispatch received numerous 911 calls reporting the Land Rover for reckless driving, prompting BPD patrol units to attempt to locate the vehicle. Calls kept coming in, narrowing the search area to the Veterans Memorial Parkway area. The vehicle was then seen entering the greenbelt, breaking through multiple barriers preventing vehicle traffic. The vehicle continued on the Greenbelt East, until it entered the Whitewater Park area. Officers located the vehicle, and attempted to catch up to it. Before they were able to stop the vehicle, it left the pathway and entered a pond inside of Whitewater Park. The vehicle was located roughly 80 feet away from the nearest point of land. The driver was located nearby on land, fully naked. When officers approached the male driver, he was observed with a knife in his hand. After a short negotiation period, the male was taken into custody by BPD without incident and was transported to a local area hospital by Ada County Paramedics and Boise Fire. No other occupants were located in the vehicle. Boise FIre rescue divers assisted tow truck operators in recovering the submerged vehicle.
