ENNESAW, Ga. – What would you do if a man in a bar parking lot pointed a gun at you and your friends?

Matt Solon, now 25, leapt into action, disarmed the gunman and whaled on him, making sure he was unable to further advance on him or his friends.

W3Schools.com

His swift moves seemed heroic to witnesses, but when police arrived, they arrested him. And, only him, that night.

Solon was handcuffed, put in the back of a Kennesaw Police officer’s cruiser and charged with battery and possessing a firearm during the commission of a crime.

Solon told 11Alive investigators that he was saving his three friends, including a U.S. congressman’s son from being shot—police officers on the scene, said he was an assailant who went too far.

The man who pulled the gun? He wasn’t immediately arrested—but, already had charges pending against him that involved drugs and gun possession.

Here’s the whole story.

Gunman was awaiting trial on felony gun, drug charges

On April 22, 2017, Cobb County Police found Cooper passed out with his foot on the brake and his car in drive, at an intersection.

Officers located a loaded 9mm handgun in his car’s center console, along with scales and a jar full of marijuana.

He was arrested and charged with having an open container, DUI, felony possession of drugs with intent to deliver, and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony.

Cooper’s bail restrictions did not prohibit him from possessing firearms while he was on bail for felony gun charges.

Cooper is awaiting trial on multiple charges related to the parking lot incident, and he is on probation for April’s felony drug conviction.

But, now, Solon worries every time he sees a police cruiser in his rearview mirror.

“They're going to see this when they run my plate that I've been arrested before,” he said.

“For a gun-related charge… And they're going to think in their head, ‘Oh this guy just had a good lawyer, he got off it.’”

Cooper did not respond to our requests for an interview.

Holy shit.

I fell for your dumbass shit once again and look like an ass now.

The entire, purposely way too long article, points to the faggot ‘hero’ being a low life, and, out of line, and, a felon probably.

Dood. Fuck you.

Wow...did you even bother watching? Matt Solon, and his friends had a gun pulled on them.

Solon disarmed the thug, took his gun, called the cops, who arrested HIM on a weapons charge after saving his three friends, including a U.S. congressman’s son. It wasn't even HIS gun.

One of the victims on the other side of the gun barrel is Army veteran and son of U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., 25-year-old Michael Loudermilk. Next to him is 24-year-old Solon, friend and fellow Army veteran who served in Afghanistan.

With the gun pointed at him and his friends’ direction and without hesitation, Solon leaps into action, charging the gunman, Dwight Cooper Jr., and disarms him.

As Cooper attempts to flee, Solon pistol whips him in the head, kicks his head, and calls 911 for help.

Cooper is the thug who attacked them and yes, he is the one with a criminal record.

He was not even legally allowed to own a handgun.

Honestly? Both should have been arrested.

The fact only one was tells me cops are not my friend. Derr.

Dont paint the obviously drunk and erratic and full of adrenaline person as the hero. He was in the wrong also.

Dont do this shit is my point.

Yeah...Solon should have just let the thug shoot him and his friends.

Bullshit! So what if the victims were drunk - does the term "self defense" mean anything to you? Solon relied on his military traning to put down the would be murderer.

I bet you think that the couple who defended their mansion from a swarm of BLM thugs was wrong too?

Oh yeah - they were defending their home.
