Car burglary suspect drowns in pond while hiding from law enforcement
2019-08-24
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) ‐ Police are investing the accidental drowning of a 21-year-old man involved in a car burglary.

Police say Tariq Bailey and 20-year-old Ayrton Errol Clouden Jr. were spotted pulling on door handles in a parking lot on Quantum Lakes Drive around 3:20 a.m. Officers spotted the pair walking northbound on Quantum Lakes Drive, and when they attempted to make contact with them, the pair fled.

According to police, the suspects jumped over a fence into the Canterbury community. Officers lost sight of the suspects after they went into a densely wooded area, and contacted the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and the Delray Beach Police Department for assistance. Law enforcement discontinued the search around 5:00 a.m.

Almost three hours later, police received a call about a possible drowning.

#3  Only possible better ending would be something along the lines of "..a partially eaten corpse was retrieved from the lake. A large alligator was seen nearby, but attempts to capture were unsuccessful."
