After escaping from police custody Wednesday, a man suspected in a burglary jumped off a bridge on Interstate 275 to his death.
The suspect was identified Thursday as Dustin Lamar Henry, 23, of Acworth, Georgia. Investigators confirmed his identity through fingerprints.
Around 11:00 a.m., Knoxville police were following up on a burglary that occurred on Hannah Avenue.
An officer spotted Henry, who matched the description of the reported burglar walking down I-275. She stopped him and put him in the cruiser.
The officer drove Henry to the top of the ramp at Woodland Avenue.
After other officers arrived, one questioned Henry about the burglary, but Henry started struggling and broke free, running east on Woodland.
With the officers in pursuit, the suspect ran onto the railroad overpass bridge in the 200 block of Woodland, stopped and jumped off the bridge.
Henry was taken to UT Medical Center and pronounced dead a short time later. Police say his family has been notified.
Henry had three outstanding warrants from Georgia, two for probation violations and one for failure to appear.
