Three Thugs Dragged Cop Into Woods To Kill Him – Then An Unlikely Hero Emerged Out Of Nowhere

When Long Beach, Miss., Sheriff’s Deputy Todd Frazier set out on patrol recently with his canine partner, Lucas, he had no way of knowing that the four-legged officer would soon be his only hope of surviving the night.
According to reports, Frazier checked on a suspicious vehicle one night last week; and, upon peering inside to find a man apparently sleeping, two other individuals grabbed him. All three subjects helped drag the officer into a wooded area where they promised to kill him.
“They told him they were going to slit his throat,” said Hancock County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Don Bass.
Despite being surprised and outnumbered in the attack, Frazier knew that he left his partner in his patrol vehicle. Able to unlock the cruiser’s rear doors remotely, the deputy continued to fight for his life as he trusted Lucas to heed the call of duty.
Sure enough, the vigilant dog ran to the scene, biting at least one of the suspects and scaring the others away. Though all three subjects reportedly escaped in the vehicle Frazier initially stopped to investigate, the officer’s injuries were limited to a substantial gash in his forehead – believed to have been caused by a box cutter – and other non-life threatening injuries.
He was subsequently released from the hospital as local law enforcement continues its search for the three suspects. While Bass indicated that he isn’t concerned with motive at this point in the investigation, he acknowledged that the suspects are potentially linked to a gang specifically targeting cops.
“We’ve been stressing this for months and months now,” he said. “It’s no different from last year. We get a BOLO from the state alerting us that the Black Gangster Disciples have put out an SOS – or shoot on sight – for police officers.”
