BEND, OR -- A Bend man attempted from run from Deschutes County deputies, but ended up cold, wet and in custody, following a Tuesday evening pursuit.

Deputies went to the Reed Lane home of Robert Robirts to serve an arrest warrant, just after 5 p.m. But, the 26-year-old took off, running towards a nearby irrigation canal and diving into the water. Deputies followed Robirts along the bank for about five minutes until he swam to shore.

Robirts had a Felony Warrant for "Failure to Appear," with original charges of Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Resisting Arrest, Harassment and Strangulation. He now faces new charges of Escape and Criminal Trespass.

He was evaluated by medics at the scene and checked at the hospital before getting booked into the jail.
