Caldwell Parish Sheriff’s deputies say a National Guard soldier jumped to his death Tuesday from the U.S. 165 bridge in Columbia.
Chief Deputy Glenn Gilmore said that Marcus Delon White, 24, of Monroe was travelling to Camp Beauregard in Alexandria with his fiance when he stopped his car on the Ouachita River bridge. Gilmore said White worked at Camp Beauregard 4 days each week.
“He stopped the car and he got out,” Gilmore said. “I don’t think he told her he was going to jump.” Gilmore said that his fiance called for help and passers by stopped to try to keep him from jumping.
“They were holding him, but he broke free just as the officer arrived on the scene,” Gilmore said.
