Pensacola police say a man was arrested early Sunday after driving a stolen car off a dock into the Pensacola Bay

PPD spokesman Mike Wood said the man suffered minor injuries in the crash after he drove into the water at the end of South C Street, by AC Williams Seafood Co. in Pensacola.

The Escambia County Sheriff's Office made the arrest, and the driver's name was not immediately available.

The car, a silver Nissan Altima, was pulled from the water Sunday morning after search-and-rescue divers confirmed nobody else was in the car or the water.

They determined nobody else was in the vehicle at the time that it crashed.

The man has been booked into the Escambia County Jail.
