MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The man who was pulled from the Mississippi River naked last week has been identified.

The Memphis Police Department confirmed his name is James Goings, and it’s unclear if charges will be filed against him.

On Wednesday, May 27, crews worked for over an hour to rescue him.

Firefighters told WREG the man was in no hurry to get out of the water, but they finally got him into an ambulance at Mud Island Park.

The man jumped in naked near the Metal Museum.

Firefighters said he kept swimming away from them and refused their repeated attempts to get him into a boat.

They think the current carried him more than seven miles before an officer was finally able to grab him and force him out of the river.

“He basically did not want to be helped. We were trying to throw him life jackets and tow ropes, and he refused any kind of help,” Kirk Lock with the Memphis Fire Department explained.

Fire officials didn’t say whether the man has a mental condition, but they did say he was expected to be fine, physically.
