Arizona police responded to a report of an upset between a couple near the Elmore Footbridge in Tempe Town when the man jumped into the lake, local News 12 reported.

When police arrived at the scene, 34-year-old Sean Bickings and his partner denied that there had been a heated argument between them, but later when they told the couple that they would check their names to see if they had pending arrest warrants, then Bickings climbed over a fence and entered the lake, as seen in the video from the body camera carried by one of the officers.

"I'm going for a swim. Am I free to go right?", The man is heard saying in the video, with the police telling him that he is not allowed to swim in the lake, while he was standing on the other side of the fence.
