A multi-agency manhunt is under way after a deputy was ambushed, beaten, and cut with a box cutter in Pearlington on Monday evening. A manhunt is under way after a Hancock County Sheriff's Department deputy was saved by his dog from an ambush attack by three men. The deputy, Todd Frazier, was beaten and cut with a box cutter in Pearlington on Monday, Sheriff Ricky Adam said. If it wasn't for his K9 partner, a black Belgian Malinois named Lucas, they might have succeeded. "They told him they were going to slit his throat, and they were dragging him toward the woods," Chief Deputy Don Bass said, adding that authorities believe the attackers meant to drag Frazier into the woods, kill him, and dump his body.. The car, a blue Lincoln Town Car with a darker vinyl top, was parked in a rest stop, and the driver was sitting alone inside with no lights on around 10 p.m. Monday. Frazier got out of his vehicle and went to check on the car. "When he got out, two other people came out of the woods right by the vehicle, and he backed up and fell, and it was on then," Adam said. It is not clear yet if the attack was related to recent threats by gangs to attack police on sight, Adam said, "but at this point in time I don't care. This kind of attitude has been prevailing in Washington for the last six years and now it's coming home to roost and we're the targets."

The doctor told the deputy it looked like the cut was made by a box cutter. "The three of them were dragging him toward the wooded area, and he was able to break one hand free to activate the button that opens the door and it released Lucas," Bass said. The dog bit at least one, probably two of the suspects, potentially saving the officer's life. That was more than good equipment and a good dog, Adam said. "We don't know how many he got, we just know he had blood all over him," Adam said. The pop mechanism for the door is only installed in two of the county's four K9 units, and was only recently installed, Bass said. He added that Frazier's experience was a "very near miss." The suspects fled in the Town Car, which police describe as possibly a 2000 model. At least one of the suspects will have serious dog bites and the suspects may have crossed into Louisiana. The suspects fled in the Town Car. Frazier was taken to Hancock Medical Center where he was treated and released Tuesday morning. Lucas was not injured. Adam said given the attitude in the country toward law enforcement, he has been trying to prepare his deputies for the worst. "We've been stressing this for months and months now. It's no different from last week 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," he said. "For a couple of months we've been preaching safety because we knew our location between New Orleans and on the I-10 corridor... it's going to happen here." Bass agreed, saying that the near miss was a wakeup call for the department. "It hits us hard, it brings you to your knees," he said. "We're not a large agency, and all these guys have families. The main thing for anybody is to go home safe, we want you to go home at night. But it could happen to any one of them, the threat is here and the possibility is real." It's not an ideal time to be a law enforcement officer, Adam said. "It's going to happen. We're a small county in a rural state and it's happening here? What are the officers in cities going through? For instance, how can an officer function in the city of Jackson?" he said. "We're under pressure every day. They can work 25 years in this business and do everything by the book and make one mistake and they're under the microscope." Anyone with information in this case is asked to call the Hancock County Sheriff's Department at (228) 255-9191. More than a dozen markers show where blood was spilled More than a dozen markers show where blood was spilled during a struggle between a Hancock County Deputy, his K-9 and three suspects on Monday evening. Police are seeking information on the suspects who are still at large.

Bass agreed, saying that the near miss was a wakeup call for the department. Time will tell. If the police go back to serving and protecting rather than beating up and abusing, they will find themselves respected once again. Otherwise they will find themselves with a lot of bystanders just standing and watching.
Sounds like a trap for homosexuals. "Anyone with information in this case is asked to call the Hancock County Sheriff's Department" It would help if we knew something about the suspects. Were they, for example, Norwegians?
Another reason why all cops should be wearing body cameras that broadcast the signal back to the station via a repeater in the car. Cameras not only keep the cops honest,they protect the cops by being able to identify their attackers.

Bob,those days are gone and I don't see them returning. All PD's and Sheriff depts today are filling with buzz cut Rambo wannabe crime fighters wanting to fight the war on crime and who think the badge gives them more rights than citizens have with less personal responsibility. As is repeated probably every day in every police station in the country,"Officer safety comes first.". The people who have spent the last 20 years learning this mantra are now teaching the LEO classes and supervising the shifts. They are going to teach what they know.

Probably Mennonites. They all dress in black so they must be some kind of violent Goth Gang.

If they catch the perps, let Lucas finish them off.

Pete, after driving from Maine to NM and then from NM back to Maine, I think the chances of your being right are about 95%. Some time I might go into the details of that trip and the things cops stopped us for and the things I saw cops do. If one of my sons was on a police department, even though they are in the 40's I would order them to get off and just as I would not allow them to stay in the military. Seems the police and the military learned nothing from the VC. As all who have ever been in a fire fight know, once the shooting starts it is near impossible to stop. Pete, my old friend, you and I may live to see the death of the Republic, the breaking up o0f the states into individual or small group independent nations. At 71, I don't see much chance of the Union still existing, other than in history books, by the time I am 75. The police, the politicians, the military and the press and courts have brought this upon their own heads. I pray for all LFers who are unsaved, even gatlin.
The small state thing won't last long because the public will be screaming at what passes for leaders to "restore order,no matter what you have to do! I want my sports programs and mah sqeeze wants her soaps!" The result will be a "temporary suspension of the Bill of Rights for the duration of the troubles". Much like the personal income tax was a temporary measure. Anarchy always leads to dictatorships,and the people are only getting what they demand. This is all part of the Globalist plan. In order to create the New World Order the Bush Crime Family is so fond of,first it is necessary to destroy the existing world order. It's a basic law of nature,just like day follows night. Your children and grandchildren will wake up one day and discover they are now employees (IF they are lucky) of the North American Economic Zone of Worldwide Government,Inc and there won't be a damn thing they can do about it. As for this happening within the next 5 years,I want to call you a pessimist because I think they will be more cautious than that and might take 20 years,but everything depends on unseen events.
