Crews with the Nashville Fire Department and Metro police responded to the banks of the Cumberland River to reportedly save a woman who was threatening to drive into the water.

Mumaw and Officer Nick Diamond spent nearly 10 minutes negotiating with Juli Glisson, 40, before Metro police said the vehicle slipped into gear and went into the river.

The officers slipped on the edge of the boat ramp and both were submerged, according to authorities. One officer tried to grab Mumaw, but was unable to stop him from being swept into the river.

Condolences to the family and friends.

However, what is a "recondition" that they mention in the story?

The woman should face murder charges.

Must be a typo for recognition.

Spell-check instead of writers and editors.

Yes further reports say she is now under criminal investigation. Apparently she has a criminal record.
