Suspected Shark Tank Swimmer Arrested Here

A 37-year-old man from British Columbia and wanted by Toronto Police has been arrested by Thunder Bay OPP.

A police spokesperson tells us David Weaver was picked up in a traffic stop 25 minutes west of Thunder Bay.

He was arrested just after 4:40 Tuesday evening.

Police are expected to transfer the man back to Toronto Police custody Wednesday.

Weaver is wanted for mischief after it’s reported a man jumped naked into a tank full of sharks at Toronto’s Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada.

The 37-year-old is also wanted in relation to an assault that occurred before the shark tank incident on Friday.
