A Los Angeles man rescued after his vehicle became submerged in a flooded Palm Springs roadway was in custody Friday on suspicion of public intoxication and other charges.<\/p>\n
Diego Daniel Garcia, 35, was arrested Thursday and booked into the Benoit Detention Center in Indio on suspicion of public intoxication, resisting an officer and battery on a firefighter, according to Palm Springs police Lt. Gustavo Araiza.<\/p>\n
Bail information was not immediately available.<\/p>\n
Officers were called about 11:30 a.m. Thursday to Indian Canyon Drive after a vehicle was reported submerged in floodwaters, police said. When responders learned a driver was still inside the vehicle, firefighters conducted a swift-water rescue to pull the man to safety.<\/p>\n
Araiza said Garcia appeared to be under the influence of drugs following the rescue.<\/p>\n
Details surrounding the alleged battery on a firefighter were not immediately released, and it was unclear whether any injuries were reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Los Angeles man rescued after his vehicle became submerged in a flooded Palm Springs roadway was in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[683,2040,2602,62751,49530,48,52,51,47,50,49,62752],"class_list":["post-118304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-angeles","tag-arrested","tag-charges","tag-floodwaters","tag-intoxication","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-pulled"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
