NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – The body of a Metro police officer who went missing during a water rescue Thursday morning was recovered by a Nashville Fire Department diver.
Metro police identified the fallen officer as 44-year-old Eric Mumaw, an 18-year veteran of the force. He was a member of the Madison precinct and had recieved numerous awards and reconditions over the years, including Metro’s Lifesaving Award in 2011.

Just caught that on our local news. RIP.
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.
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.

Very sad. Prayers up for the family, friends, and co-workers of this hero.
That makes more sense. Thanks.
