A Turlock man was arrested Monday in Los Banos after leading officers on a pursuit that ended with a crash and the suspect trying to swim away. The incident began shortly before 2:30 a.m. Monday in the area of McKinley and Pioneer roads in Los Banos when a police officer ran a check on a vehicle and discovered it had been stolen out of San Jose.
