A man who desperately tried to swim from the law on Cooper City has landed in deep trouble.
Jonathan Stewart faced a Broward County judge, Wednesday morning.
According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the 24-year-old attempted to rob someone. He then jumped into a canal to escape capture, but BSO divers soon caught him and brought him back to shore.
Stewart faces a charge of strong-arm robbery. He was ordered to have no contact with the victim or returned to the location of the incident.
