The ordeal happened Thursday night in front of shocked shoppers in the town just outside Birmingham, Leeds Police Chief Paul Irwin said.
The 42-year-old Alabama man did a “cannonball” leap into the aquarium and then stood under a waterfall. He left the water to yell at two officers, then dove back into the aquarium, police said.
The man eventually climbed over the side of the aquarium and fell to the concrete floor below. Police then apprehended him, the news site Al.com reported.
He faces several charges including public lewdness, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.
The man was in the water for about five minutes before officers arrived, Irwin said.
Every part of this headline is more insane than the last.
And then the article itself is somehow even more insane.
and they somehow skipped over him crashing his car outside before running in
for a moment I thought maybe this was a planned dare or something but no, this was just a guy who had crashed his car and saw an aquarium and made some off the cuff choices.
