WELD COUNTY, Colo. — The Weld County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) is asking for the public's help in identifying a man accused of jumping off a TV tower.

The incident happened Wednesday just outside Frederick.

According to the sheriff's office, when the man pulled his parachute, he lost his camera, which filmed the jump.
