The ordeal happened Thursday night in front of shocked shoppers in the town just outside Birmingham, Leeds Police Chief Paul Irwin said.
The 42-year-old Alabama man did a “cannonball” leap into the aquarium and then stood under a waterfall. He left the water to yell at two officers, then dove back into the aquarium, police said.
The man eventually climbed over the side of the aquarium and fell to the concrete floor below. Police then apprehended him, the news site Al.com reported.
He faces several charges including public lewdness, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.
The man was in the water for about five minutes before officers arrived, Irwin said.
Gotta say, I can see the appeal.

Florida man go on vacation?
They visited Alabama’s inland Sea World.
Every part of this headline is more insane than the last.
And then the article itself is somehow even more insane.
and they somehow skipped over him crashing his car outside before running in
for a moment I thought maybe this was a planned dare or something but no, this was just a guy who had crashed his car and saw an aquarium and made some off the cuff choices.
Yet another crime amusing enough to make me question if we need to get the court involved.
This truly made me laugh out loud. The actual story is even funnier than the headline.
How come whenever I go to a Bass Pro Shop I never get to see a naked 42-year-old man leaping into the aquarium? I swear life is not fair.

Favorite news of the day. So funny and relative to the rest of the world is harmless. Gogo redneck stupidity. LOLOLOLOL
This should be an event in the Olympics.
There’s one in Springfield with a bunch of aquariums.
I think almost everyone briefly thinks about doing it, but clearly he lacked the part of his brain that says “lol but? no.”
“This wouldn’t be illegal if Bass Pro Shop would just take the $500 I offered to swim in the fish tank. SeaWorld was cool with it, why not Bass Pro Shop?”
Florida Man: I am da best!
