Woman drives into river to avoid cops, boozes as car floats

YORK, Pa. (AP) — Police say a Pennsylvania woman drove into a river to avoid arrest, then ignored officers and continued drinking beer as she floated in the vehicle. The York Daily Record (http://bit.ly/2hTLfyY ) reports police approached the woman near a boat launch Monday to arrest her for fleeing from them earlier. She was wanted for running a stop sign. They say she hit the gas and barreled into the Susquehanna River. They say officers tried to communicate with her but she just ignored them and drank her beer. A fire department boat brought the woman back to shore. The woman was taken to York Hospital and police continue to investigate. Her name hasn't been released. ___ Information from: York Daily Record, http://www.ydr.com
