According to an eyewitness named Andrew, he and his girlfriend were sitting on the sand at the end of Newport Avenue at around 11 p.m. on August 25 when a young man jumped off the Ocean Beach Pier. Someone called it in, and within minutes there was a helicopter flying over with a searchlight and several police cars on the scene.
The man swam to shore, obviously unhurt and seemingly intoxicated, but was only given a ticket by police officers. Andrew said he talked to the jumper, and both were surprised he was not arrested.
