No, the correct form is "That person was I."
In the sentence, the verb 'was' is functioning as a linking verb. A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).
The noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb is called a subject complement (a predicate nominative) which renames the subject.
A pronoun that functions as a subject complement is always a subject (nominative) pronoun. The pronoun 'I' is a subject pronoun.
