Volusia County boat burglary suspect coaxed out of water

A boat burglary suspect made it safely to shore, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Department said Saturday.

The man was in the Halifax River when deputies arrived at the dock.

In the released body cam video, a deputy can be heard asking the suspect to return to land so that they could talk.

The man stayed where he was, causing Deputy Freeman to help the suspect get out of the water with some encouragement.

Deputies then handcuffed him.
