Brian, 59, reportedly told his lawyer at the Central Police Station in Grand Bahama on Thursday night, April 9, that he fell from a police boat as they searched for Lynette, 55, during a storm following his arrest the day before. Handcuffed as he plunged in the rough waters, the American man was likely only saved because he was wearing a life jacket at the time. However, he apparently sustained an abrasion and knee injury that's making him limp.
