WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH – A woman was saved from falling 40 feet off the top of a parking deck by police during an incident Sunday morning.
Wrightsville Beach Police Department officers were summoned to the Shell Island resort shortly before 1 a.m. on Feb. 28 after being notified by a security officer of a woman behaving suspiciously while walking the parking deck, according to a release.
When they arrived, the woman seemed apprehensive to trust the first officer to make contact, identified as Sgt. J. Rich. When he approached her, she rolled over the side wall of the top level of the deck. In body cam footage released by WBPD, Rich can be seen walking over to check on her, only to notice she was holding her weight and dangling from the deck.
