Officer Raymond Nunez, of the City, Kansas Police Department was dispatched on an attempted suicide call on I-635 over the Missouri River. It was not known until they arrived whether this was on the Kansas or Missouri side of the river. On arrival, they observed a male subject with one leg over the railing, with his body hanging out over the river. Riverside Public Safety Officers, Brent Holland and Tony Dougherty and a Missouri Highway Patrol Trooper (Sgt. Meyer) were also present. Although this situation was taking place in Missouri, Officer Nunez did not hesitate to assist. As the trooper positioned himself to distract the subject, Officers Nunez, Holland and Dougherty got behind the subject and grabbed him, pulling him back onto the bridge to safety where he was handcuffed.
