And the law won …

Screen grab from video by Barstool Sports

There’s a viral video by Barstool Sports making the rounds of Nags Head police officers chasing down a man on the beach, and finally catching up to him in the surf. Heads up, there’s some crude language in the clip.

Here’s the story behind the story, from the town police force:

“The Nags Head Police Department and Nags Head Ocean Rescue responded to an emotionally distressed person in the ocean yesterday … Ocean Rescue was able to get the gentleman to shore and after a short chase he was apprehended. Thanks to all involved, we were able to get him to safety.”

Ah, summertime.
