Officers said the man was standing on the bulkhead near PPD and threatening to jump in. Police called for a boat to assist them. Just before 1 p.m., officers cleared the scene after they said they took the suspect into custody.

I agree, good riddance - he obviously is of no value to the world and we'd all be better off without him. But, we all know what would happen: his family would come out of the woodwork and sue the city, and all the tv stations and publications would be interviewing them and wasting all our time by reporting the whole thing blow by blow. (like they did with Jean McNeil's lies and allegations against NHCO Animal Control)
