This headline had me going - Video shows deputies draining the swamp of a foulmouthed Florida man

Alas, it wasn't what I thought...


<snip>

"Arrest of the swamp thing?

No, it’s just a guy who tried to flee cops by hiding in one.

Body camera footage from deputies in Pasco County, Florida, north of the Tampa Bay area, shows a clear and unmuddied view of the back-county arrest of a man identified by deputies as Paul Daniel Smith.

After some muck-wading and bush-clearing, deputies and their K-9, Knox, find Smith fully submerged in the swamp. His seemingly disembodied head pokes out of the mud.

But the dog doesn’t growl menacingly at him. Instead, Knox licks him. Repeatedly.

“Stop!” Smith says, almost laughing for a split second as the K-9 slathers all over his face."
