Disturbing the peace

A 21 year-old man in Idaho tried to commit suicide either by shooting himself with a shotgun or by having the police shoot him. However, by the time a SWAT team arrived he had yet to shoot himself, and the SWAT team used restraint and used tear gas on him instead of shooting him. The man ended up being arrested for his suicide attempt, charged with disturbing the peace.

Jupming from an overpass

A 36 year-old woman jumped into a creek from an overpass, and she didn't even indicate where she was going to jump in her suicide note. Her suicide attempt didn't work out, though, having been found and taken to a hospital after breaking multiple bones and possibly other injuries.
