The following is a press release issued by the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office:
On 03-25-2024 at approximately 10:52 AM, a Sergeant with the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office was on routine patrol in the area of Vichy Springs Road and Watson Road in Ukiah, California.
The Sergeant had pulled over in a turnout to research something on his patrol vehicle computer. At this time, the Sergeant looked towards the Perkins Street Bridge, where he observed an adult male subject tying a bright-colored rope onto the railing of the bridge. The Sergeant then observed the male subject placing the other end of the rope over his head and around his neck.
The Sergeant rushed to the location of the male subject. As the Sergeant was exiting his vehicle, the subject had one foot over the railing and his upper body was also leaning over the railing.
The Sergeant quickly ran to the male subject and was able to pull him back over the railing and onto the bridge.
The male subject was then transported to Adventist Health Ukiah Valley, where he was connected with mental health resources.
I know this will sound a little off, but that may have been kinda cool. lol
