A Louisiana grandmother may very well have saved a police officer’s life after she jumped on a suspect while he reached for the officer’s gun (video below).
Vickie Williams-Tillman, 56, was on her way to the store to buy essentials for a Sunday meal when she noticed an officer and a suspect arguing with each other on the sidewalk, People reported.
Williams-Tillman stopped her vehicle and saw the suspect attack the officer.
“They began tussling on the other side of the car,” Williams-Tillman told People. “It didn’t look good.”
Williams-Tillman, who is a mother-of-three and grandmother-of-four, called 911.
“But that wasn’t enough,” she said. “I thought, ‘They’re not going to make it in time.’ There was just a small amount of time before something could have happened.”
The officer was identified as 44-year-old Billy Aime. Baton Rouge Police Department spokesman Sergeant L’Jean McKneely said Aime found drugs in 28-year-old Thomas Bennett’s vehicle during a traffic stop. He said Bennett became aggressive after Aime attempted to handcuff him.
