Good Samaritan Stops Hit-And-Run Driver With Pepper Spray
This true story is about a man who witnesses a hit and run crash and took matters into his own hands. He followed a hit-and-run suspect and stopped him with pepper spray. Good for him!
With the help of a good Samaritan, Knoxville, TN Police arrested a man who crashed into another car and fled the scene.
Police said Larry Bashears crashed his 2004 Nissan Titan pick up into the car of Mary Johnson of Lexington on Wednesday on the 9000 block of Kingston Pike. And he never stopped.
Peter Bolton witnessed the crash and after checking on Johnson followed Bashears down Kingston Pike and Concord Rd.
“I wanted to find out why he was running,” Bolton said. “And then one thing lead to another.”
Bolton said Bashears’ drove as far as he could on three tires until his engine blew out. That’s when the two men confronted one another and Bolton pepper sprayed him.
“Eventually he came to the floor and I managed to get his right arm around the stop sign. He eventually stopped trying to escape,” said Bolton who held Bashears down until the police showed up.
Just remember, if he hadn’t been carrying pepper spray, he may have done the same thing but would have been in greater danger.

Why go empty handed into a dangerous situation? This guy didn’t, that’s for sure. Is there anyone not pumping their fist with an ‘atta boy!’ reading this?

It’s good to see that not everyone just thinks about themselves. Not everyone is selfish. More people should be willing to step up. Thanks for sharing this.

I wonder how many people just turned their heads and walked away out of fear, maybe if they would have made a Pepper Spray Purchase they would have been more self confident.
