BOISE, Idaho — A man was pulled from the Boise River early Tuesday after a police chase that began in Canyon County and ended near Pamela Baker Park.
The pursuit started shortly after 1 a.m. on September 10, when a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado fled from officers in Canyon County. The chase was temporarily suspended after the vehicle entered Meridian Police jurisdiction.
The truck was later spotted near West Joplin Road and West Chinden Boulevard in Boise. Deputies with the Ada County Sheriff’s Office successfully deployed spike strips that ultimately brought the car to a full stop near Pamela Baker Park.
The driver then got out, ran, and jumped into the Boise River. Officers at the scene later threw him a rope and pulled him safely to shore.
The driver was identified as Shannon Levi, 33. Levi was arrested and booked into the Ada County Jail on charges of felony fleeing and eluding, resisting and obstructing, and driving without privileges.
The case remains under investigation.
