COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - What started off as an bank robbery Thursday morning has culminated into a man threatening to jump off the Wateree River Bridge on Interstate 77, police say.
According to the Columbia Police Department, the currently unidentified man entered the BB&T on Garners Ferry Rord with a weapon and demanded money.
Officials say the man fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money, but CPD caught up with him and attempted to pull him over. That's when he escaped again and made to the bridge on I-77.
Law enforcement agents are currently at the bridge negotiating with the man to try and keep him from jumping. He is talking, but is still threatening to jump.
Both lanes on I-77 are closed while officials deal with the situation. Officials are asking people to stay off the interstate until the incident is over.
