"There was a huge misconception around town that what was approved was not supposed to be above the height of the bridge railing. That's absolutely false," Johnson said.

Then there was the Planning Commission's failure to specify that the condo project not exceed the height of the bridge railing and its approval of a building that is in parts as high as 36 feet - 6 feet higher than the bridge railing even if it had been correctly measured.

So Johnson and Butler measured the bridge railing themselves.

He secured himself to the bridge railing and swung over the top, then lifted the woman into the arms of a police officer.
