Man carrying concealed pistol stops attack on Utah police officer

By Katherine Lam | Fox News


A Utah police officer who was being attacked on Friday was saved by a passerby with a concealed pistol after the man drove by while the assault was taking place and turned around to help, officials said.

The unidentified police officer confronted the attacker, identified as Paul Douglas Anderson, after spotting feet dangling from a donation bin in Springville, FOX13 Salt Lake City reported on Saturday. Anderson got out of the bin, but refused to remove his hands from his pocket.

The officer ordered Anderson to remove his hands out of his pockets. Anderson eventually took his hands out of his pants’ pockets and began repeatedly punching the officer in the face.

Derek Meyer told FOX13 he was driving by the area when he spotted the police lights and saw Anderson attacking the cop. Meyer turned around, pulled over and pulled out his pistol.

Meyer aimed the pistol at Anderson and yelled at him to stop attacking the officer. Anderson bolted from the scene as responding officers arrived. The attacker, who was found hiding under a flatbed trailer, was arrested and faces several charges, according to FOX13.

He's very very lucky the arriving cops, seeing a beat up and bloody fellow cop with a Mundane pointing a pistol in his direction, that he didn't get ventilated on sight.

I'm sure he holstered it after the victim ran away.

I'm glad the Officer is OK.

But what was that other dude doing with a gun?? Just carrying a gun for no reason?

Must have been on his way to a hunting competition.

He's lucky he isn't dead just for carrying within 100 yards of a wounded kop.

I give the police a LITTLE more legitimacy and credit than many on this site (2 of my best friends are "good" cops) but they have gone quite insane and must be treated like rabid animals, the good Samaritan should have phoned for medical aid for the kop while leaving the area as fast as he could walk. (NOT run, he might get mistaken for a perp if he ran)

Hogan and Schultz were friends.

Best?

I'd say Schultz made the group, Klink didn't.

I don't understand what you are on about in the context? Stalag 13 through references. No idea.

So how are your cop buddies?

Schultz was a good man who was doing a job to support his family that made him a jailer, in spite of this he tried to be friendly and lenient to the prisoners, Hogan and the gang recognized the sweet little kid inside him and would often try to help him out, Klink was a typical selfish corrupt human whose job put him in a similar position to Schultz but he chose to be adversarial or at times even viscious.

My two cop friends are like Schultz.

Ignorance is not a defense. $#@! Shultz.
