Willoughby Police Chief Jim Schultz is offering his personal thanks to several Good Samaritans who stopped to help an officer during an incident Saturday afternoon. • According to officials, the female officer pulled a driver over for speeding on Lost Nation Road just before 4:25 p.m. when the man stopped and got out of the car without being asked. The officer asked him to sit down, but the male refused, eventually pointing his finger near the officers face and pushing her. • After the suspect further declined multiple orders to put his hands either behind his back or on the vehicle, a physical struggle ensued between him and the officer. At that moment, four people who were not previously in the area stopped to help, and they assisted the officer in subduing the man and arresting him. • I am so proud of our community and the tremendous support we receive on a day to day basis, Schultz said in a statement posted to Facebook earlier this week. Saturday was another awesome example. I greatly appreciate it!!
