tina is so filled with despair, she keeps driving despite the lights and sirens, completely focused on getting on the bridge. i remember pulling up and pulling over to the side of the bridge and that s it. the efforts of green bay law enforcement stop tina from taking her own life. god reached out of the heavens and kind of said, it s not your time yet. sorry. if trooper bolt had been one step slower, tina says her life would have been over. his whole body is over and he s hanging on with one leg by the barrier and the other leg goes up in the air. so, you know, microseconds. the call was very, very close. i mean, split second anywhere and she would have, you know, succeeded in what she was trying to do.
i couldn t see either of them, and i looked over and i saw les was looking over the side of the bridge, i thought. i radioed our dispatch center and said i think she jumped. she jumped. but then a miracle unfolds. hold on. next thing i look over and i see les pulling an arm up. i could see he had ahold of her hand so i yelled into the mike he s got a hand. the woman s fall is bken by a beam that runs along the outer edge of the bridge. it gives trooper bolt one last chance to grab on to her and save her life. i was able to get ahold of her arm, keep her there, and then just wait. there was no way i was getting her over the wall by myself. i wasn t going to try and re-adjust the grip. together with a third officer, deputy kevin cunard, les bolt and sergeant bill morgan are able to pull the woman to safety. he s pulling her back up. she was what i have always called giving us the thousand yard stare.
