Mike Elgas, Adult Good Samaritan

Mike Elgas became a hero on a normal morning commute while stopping for breakfast at a Jack in the

Box. An agitated customer had grown belligerent, prompting the manager to call 911. Although the

responding police officer ultimately declared him free to go, the man suddenly punched the officer

in the face and knocked him to the ground. When the man tried to grab for the officer’s gun, Mike

jumped in without hesitation. Locking the assailant in a choke hold, Mike pulled back with all his

strength and knocked him to the ground, enabling the officer to tase and disable the attacker. The man

was arrested and the officer went to the hospital with minor injuries. IMG_2272.CR2
