We have several bridges in my Troop and at least seven of them are appropriate for plunging yourself off of and landing to your imminent doom. Four of those we monitor because they're not in the city. Today we received a dispatch from the hell that is St. Charles County, land of at least three accidents every hour, that they didn't have a deputy available to check on a possibly suicidal person on one of said bridges.
Of course, we ask about the suicidal tendencies subject has been exhibiting to warn our officers. That's when we hear, "Kirkwood State... callers report subject has sandbags tied to his body. Repeat: subject has sandbags tied to his body and is walking the edge of the Blanchette Bridge."
This guy really wanted to sink to the bottom of the great Missouri river apparently. Anyway, we get to the guy and somehow St. Charles County gets a deputy free and the next thing we hear on the radio is this:
"Kirkwood... we need MODOT to respond to our location. (Slight Pause) To clean up the sand."
Saving suicidal subjects with sandbags tied to their body is a messy task. lol. I can only imagine what happened. Honestly, from what I can tell is the subject got tackled to stop him from jumping and in the process his sandbags burst all over the highway. Or maybe he threw them at our Troopers? Who knows. I just know that it will be at least a whole day before something funnier than "subject has sandbags tied to his body" is said to me over the radio.
