But the driver continued down the road and parked at Willows Beach, where police advised him that he was under arrest for impaired driving. After yelling that he had nothing to live for and asking to be shot, the man went into the water and swam about 50 metres offshore. He came back after speaking with officers for about 25 minutes and was taken into custody. The man was given a driving prohibition, ticketed for driving without consideration and taken to hospital for an evaluation. — Times Colonist
