PEARLINGTON, Mississippi — Deputy Todd Frazier noticed a\u00a0man sitting in a blue Lincoln Town Car with the lights off at a rest stop last week.<\/p>\n
Thinking the man needed help, the Deputy stopped.<\/p>\n
As Deputy Frazier was talking to the driver, two men rushed the Officer from the woods nearby, according to\u00a0Glenn Grannan, chief investigator with the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n
“The deputy tripped and fell to the ground as he was backing away from the vehicle,” Grannan said. “That’s when all three male subjects, including the driver, ambushed him, cut him on the forehead with a sharp object and dragged him into the woods.”<\/p>\n
“It seems like they were trying to take him back into the woods,” Grannan said. “They were going to dispose of him. They were going to finish him.”<\/p>\n
During the attack, the deputy was able to push\u00a0the unlock button on his key-fob. As soon as the doors to his patrol car were unlocked,\u00a0K-9 Officer Lucas, a Belgian Malinois, came running.<\/p>\n
Lucas bit at least one suspect and all three suspects ran.<\/p>\n
The Officer suffered non-life threatening knife wounds.<\/p>\n
The suspects reportedly left the scene in a blue Lincoln Towncar with a black vinyl top and large chrome rims. The vehicle did not have a license plate and Frazier’s patrol car was not equipped with a dashboard camera. They remain on the run.<\/p>\n
Lucas did not suffer any injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
