Atlanta police officers dived into a lake to arrest a suspect wanted for vehicular theft and murder, officials say.

Last week, police spotted a Dodge Charger that was reported stolen on Aug. 24.

The driver previously fled from several officers on Martin Luther King Boulevard, but with the assistance of APD’s Aviation Unit, the vehicle was located and tracked from the air.

The suspect got out of the vehicle and fled on foot into the woods along Tatum Lake. He continued to flee from police by diving into the lake to swim away from officers.

Officers jumped into the lake after him and arrested him before he could reach the shore.

The suspect, 21-year-old Jetarvius Q. Thompson was arrested and charged with reckless driving, fleeing and eluding, obstruction, theft by receiving stolen vehicle, driving while unlicensed, and possession of tools for the commission of a crime.

Thompson had a warrant on an APD murder charge from 2017 involving gun violence and another warrant for cruelty to children, police said.

“The city is safer with this dangerous suspect off the streets,” police said.

Yep, once they get the chopper out to follow you there’s no getting away… night vision, thermal and every kind of locating camera available… you can run but you can’t hide..

There is a wooded area at the back of my house. Every week without fail, in the middle of the night, the chopper will be out looking for criminals that are trying to hide in there. They get caught everytime.

Wow, the cops went in the water and "swam down" the criminal! Can't say I've ever seen that before. Nice work, boys.
