MARIETTA, Ga. — An off-duty Marietta police officer’s date night didn’t quite go as planned over the weekend.

Officer Ryan Smith noticed a woman who had fallen out of her raft in the river outside Canoe Restaurant Saturday night. Smith and a restaurant employee jumped into the river to save the woman from drowning.

Smith’s girlfriend was able to capture a short video showing him swimming out to rescue the woman holding tight to her sinking raft.

Luckily, Smith and the restaurant employee were able to bring the woman to safety.
