We received reports that a man robbed the US Bank branch at Park Plaza in Little Rock just after noon Tuesday. A suspect was chased by up to 11 Little Rock police and Arkansas State Police cars on Interstate 30 into North Little Rock.
North Little Rock police set up a road block on Riverfront Drive, so the suspect turned around and headed back toward Little Rock. Witnesses at NLR’s US Bank Building at Riverfront Plaza said the man stopped the pickup on the Maple Street bridge between Little Rock and NLR and jumped off.
The witnesses said the man landed on his back, but a police spokesman said he hit the water head first. The man was face down, officers said, when Pulaski County Sheriff’s Water Patrol officers recovered the body just after 1 p.m. Reportedly, he was dead from hitting the water, likely with a broken neck.

Be careful if you have to go to downtown Little Rock or North Little Rock on Saturday morning — it’s the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and tens of thousands of people will be there to run, walk or cheer on breast cancer survivors and their supporters.
It’s the largest event of its kind in Arkansas. If you don’t need to go downtown early Saturday, avoid being in the area until 9:30 or 10 a.m. It’ll help with the traffic.
But after that, the Foodie Festival in downtown NLR is a great place to be.
