Deputies faced a dangerous situation when they tried to arrest a wanted man. The suspect was carrying illegal explosives and a firearm near an abandoned bank. Pierce County Sheriff’s Office released body camera footage showing the intense struggle.
The armed suspect shouted “Noooo!” as deputies moved to arrest him. He tried to run from deputies near the abandoned building. This suspect was already wanted by police in Fircrest.
During the struggle, deputies discovered explosives in the suspect’s backpack. He also had illegal drugs and a stolen firearm. This shows the extreme dangers our police face daily.
The suspect faces serious charges including possession of explosives. Carrying devices like M-80s is a felony offense. Yet liberal policies keep putting these criminals back on our streets.
This dangerous man resisted arrest violently. Body cam footage captured him fighting deputies. Our brave law enforcement risked their lives to protect the community.
The incident happened near clearly marked “No Trespassing” signs. Yet the suspect ignored private property rights. This disrespect for law and order is becoming too common.
This case highlights why we need stronger sentencing laws. Criminals carrying explosives must face maximum penalties. Weak prosecutors and judges enable this behavior.
Our deputies showed courage stopping this armed suspect. They prevented potential tragedy in our community. We must always back the blue against rising crime.
