NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A deputy will be honored next week for saving a suicidal person on the Natchez Trace Bridge.

The heroic actions of Williamson County Deputy Finch were caught on camera.

Finch responded to the bridge and was able to talk the person down as other deputies arrived to help. They walked him back to one of the patrol cars and talk with him in a safer spot.

He was then taken for medical treatment.
