Great work by the Sheriff’s Office!

Deputies Heroically Save Man from Jumping off Neuse River Bridge

On July 20, 2026, at 8:15 P.M. Deputies with the Craven County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Neuse River Bridge in New Bern, N.C., following reports of a possible stranded motorist.

When Deputies arrived, they observed the vehicle was unoccupied and begin searching the area for the driver.

Deputies located a distressed male subject sitting on the railing of the bridge facing the water.

Corporal J. Erickson established a compassionate dialogue with the individual by offering support and reassurance, the subject shared several personal struggles.

While the subject was engaged in conversation with Corporal Erickson, Lieutenant C. Desmarais and Deputy M. Hepburn coordinated a safe approach, secured the individual, and removed him from the rail to prevent him from jumping.

Deputies transported the male to CarolinaEast Medical Center and served him with an involuntary commitment order to ensure he received necessary care.
