News T.I. helped save Midtown Atlanta jumper's life — really
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 5:47 PM
T.I. saves the day. Or at least the possible Midtown jumper's life.
Atlanta Police tell CL the rapper visited the scene of today's incident and told officers he wanted to speak with the unidentified man who around 4 p.m. had threatened to jump from the 22-story Colony Square Building.
Officers told the possible jumper and he came down.
"He came down and T.I. was waiting and they talked for a few minutes before he was taken to Grady [Memorial Hospital]," Officer James Polite tells CL.
We've got a feeling the federal judge who's set to review T.I.'s recent probation violation will look very favorably upon this noble effort.
(H/T to folks on Twitter mumbling about this being true, which we couldn't believe)
