Dummy dressed as NYPD cop found hanging from Jacksonville overpass

Jacksonville, Fla. – A mannequin dressed in a New York Police Department uniform was found hanging from a Jacksonville overpass Saturday morning, according to a report by our sister station News 4 Jax.

About 6:20 a.m., according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, police were called to a potential suicide by hanging on the Interstate 95 overpass near Zoo Parkway. Police said they then discovered it was actually a mannequin dressed in an NYPD uniform with a pig mask.

Detectives said the mannequin will be processed for DNA.
