(OCTOBER 15, 2024): On Friday, September 27th, 2024, at around 12:19 PM, two of our patrol officers were dispatched to the 400 block of W. Austin St. in Nacogdoches, TX, responding to a report of a suicidal woman. Officer Seth Stover was the first to arrive and immediately began speaking with the distraught woman, who was threatening to jump from the bridge. Officer Chris Snider then arrived to assist in convincing the woman to climb back over the guardrail.
Despite the officers’ best efforts, the situation was deteriorating quickly, and the woman appeared ready to jump. Disregarding the risk to their own safety, both officers bravely grabbed the woman and pulled her back over the guardrail to safety.
We commend these officers for their selfless actions in saving someone experiencing a mental health crisis. Their exceptional efforts undoubtedly saved the life of the woman that day.
