Former University of Michigan basketball player Dommanic Ingerson jumped in Oakland’s Lake Merritt to swim away from police only to be arrested when he got to the other side. Police were chasing Ingerson because he reportedly robbed two women in downtown Oakland. He went into the water wearing black shorts but he was naked when he left the lake 35 minutes later.

Police carrying Dommanic Ingerson:

Police held Ingerson on suspicion of robbery and grand theft and later transferred him to a psychiatric hospital which is the best move. Any brotha trying to swim away from the police needs his head checked.
