"It was crazy, I thought they were shooting a movie or something, He was jumping from rooftop to rooftop like he was a superhero. When he threw himself from the rooftop of one building and through that window, I was sure he'd be dead she adds, visibly traumatized."

The suspect managed to jump from rooftop to rooftop before he threw himself into an apartment window and eventually blacked out.

The mayor of St. Louis, Francis G. Slay, hopes the "isolated incident" does not contribute to St. Louis' reputation as "America's crystal meth capital" and claims the drug problem is a "nationwide threat" and not specific to the area.

St. Louis police arrested six people and seized nearly 5,000 grams of crystal meth during the bust, the recent drug seizure estimated to be worth about $800,000.
