(North East, MD) On April 15, 2018 just after 5:00 PM, troopers from the North East Barrack responded to the Chesapeake City Bridge on MD 213/ Augustine Herman Highway in Elkton, for a male subject who reportedly parked his vehicle on the crest of the bridge in the middle of the roadway. The male subject then walked to edge of the railing of the bridge and stopped.
Upon troopers’ arrival, the male refused to speak with anyone and stated if he saw another officer approach him he would jump. The Chesapeake City Bridge, both northbound and southbound directions were closed. A perimeter was established consisting of United States Coast Guard, Cecil County Fire Department and the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office. Troopers on scene attempted to talk the subject away from the edge. Other units held the perimeter awaiting the arrival of negotiators. While holding the scene, the subject attempted to move his body over the bridge’s ledge. Senior Trooper Proctor and Trooper First Class York talked the subject back from the ledge, and took him into custody.
The subject was then transported to Union Hospital for an emergency petition.

ReplyDeleteI might be able to understand someone with cancer of a terminal illness wanting to end it, but why would they want to suffer by drowning? that has got to be the most horrible 10 minutes of someones life.
ReplyDeleteA Trooper took a break from writing tickets ? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteWas this the guy driving the sliver Nissan on a high speed chase from Cambridge through Easton and onward to the west?
ReplyDeleteIt was a wild scene.
1:39 impact would take care of their problem.
ReplyDelete1:38 it's harder to have compassion for your fellow man than to be how you are. I take it there's no more room for empathy in your brain after learning to read and struggling with subtraction.
And now the man's torment continues.....Thanks troopers for stopping him from ending his pain.
