Park City police, Sedgwick County Sheriff's deputies and fire and rescue crews responded to a call of a submerged vehicle in the Arkansas River at 53rd and West street Thursday morning. 

When they arrived they discovered an abandoned Jeep bogged down in the river. 

Deputies say it looks like someone was driving around along the river bed, illegally, and tried to cross the river when he or she got stuck.  

The jeep wasn't reported stolen.  Deputies believe it was stuck in the river at least overnight. 

When the owner is tracked down deputies say he or she will face a fine for driving in the Big Ditch illegally and, most likely, a large tow bill to get the Jeep out of the river.
