Step-brother of Dui Suspect Throws Tasering Cop to the Pavement

A local police officer recalls this vicious weekend attack.
It could have killed him.

The men charged with jumping West Union Police Sergeant Jason Daniels are under arrest.

With dashboard camera rolling, West Union Police K-9 Sergeant Jason Daniels says when he advised 21-year-old Phillip Evans he was going to arrest him for driving under the influence, not having a license and expired tags, Evans got belligerent and resisted arrest.

Sgt. Jason Daniels, West Union Police: "I drew my taser, gave him several warnings, at that, an individual I didn't know coming from the Speedway store started approaching the scene.

At that time, Phillip Evans, the driver, started getting more combative, I tased the individuals and started to fall backwards."

While all that was happening, Tim Pritchett, Evans' step-brother, had come up behind Sergeant Daniels.

He grabs him by the face and throws him to the pavement, sitting on him, pinning his arms.

At that point, Evans begins kicking the injured sergeant in the face repeatedly with his size 13 steel toed logging boot.

"I was focused on the person on top of me and there wasn't a lot I could do with the guy kicking me in the face, ended up having to toss my taser with my wrist, because it was useless at that time... couldn't get to my weapon, couldn't get to my K-9 bailout, because I had my arms pinned to the ground... It was just survive what was coming."

While the assault was underway, a man and woman walked up and tried to intervene, which gave Daniels a chance to break away, draw his weapon and arrest the two men who'd been attacking him.

A lieutenant also arrives to assist. The West Union Police Chief says Daniels assault and survival should be a lesson to cops everywhere.

Chief Roy Stricklett, West Union Police: "Never drop your guard... You never know when things are going to turn bad."

That size 13 steel toed boot is connected to a guy who, according to his drivers license, is 6 foot 3 and weighs 270 pounds. You can only imagine the impact.

Jason Daniels suffered a broken nose, various cuts and bruises, and was released from the hospital Sunday.

After the attack, he put in another four hours of police work before driving himself to the hospital.

Amazingly, he tells me he'll be back on duty tomorrow. Evans and Pritchett remain behind bars on 100-thousand dollar bonds.

They're both currently charged with felony assault on a police officer, and if convicted could spend between three and ten years in prison.

[AmericanIllusions]

Yea thats why I say raise the bar and pay cops much more. It's a Win/Win. The cop got up like that because he was embarrassed and didn't want anymore. I'm sure both these guys got a good kicking when backup arrived.

Pussy ass cop. Get some muscles-the gym carries them in all sizes.
