No Sign Of Car-Jack(ass)er Who Jumped Bridge To Escape Police
Friday, December 15th, 2006
There has been no sign of a man who jumped off the Brent Spence Bridge to escape police.
The man had attempted two carjackings before fighting with a man and stealing his car. He lost his shoes and shirt in the process - a fair trade.
An officer at the scene attempted to hit the man with a shot from a Taser, but unfortunately they don’t penetrate windows and bounced off the car. Other officers were alerted and two cruisers gave chase.
While crossing the Brent Spence Bridge, the man bailed from the vehicle and jumped the railing; disappearing into the night. He was briefly spotted 115 feet below in the Ohio River.
