Police said that Reed took off running when officers were handcuffing him near the frigid Mississippi River. He was pursued for a short time before bounding into the river and swimming out approximately 15 feet, according to police. Police saw him go under water and resurface, but they have yet to see him again. Police and family members have been waiting to see if he returns to the banks. The water was estimated to be around 40 degrees.
"I'm hoping he's not in the water," Karen Reed, mother of Ed and Brian, told WWL TV. "If he is, it's going to be up."
Brian Reed was stopped for allegedly running another driver off the road, and it was later determined that he was driving a stolen car. Reed's mother, however, disputed that claim.
Ed Reed and the Ravens will face the Chiefs in Kansas City Sunday.
