OKLAHOMA CITY - New information is coming out regarding the rookie Oklahoma City police officer who was beaten by a suspect with his own baton following a burglary on the northwest side of the metro.
An armed witness may have been the only thing that kept that officer from a more serious beating, or worse.
It happened just after 2 p.m. Tuesday in the 2800 block of W. Park Pl. Rookie Officer Adam Eller and field training officer Sgt. Michael Lambert were responding to the burglary call.
...
During the chase the two officers became separated. Eller found himself alone when he caught up to Jermaine in a driveway of a nearby home and as he tried to place him under arrest, a fight ensued. During the struggle, Jermaine was able to take Eller's police baton and then proceeded to strike him over the head somewhere between six and 12 times.
According to a report, that's when a witness nearby charged up with his weapon drawn and told Jermaine he would shoot him if he did not stop hitting Eller. That heroic witness has not been identified.

Nice aiming, Tex.
The perp hit the officer 6 to 12 times in the head.That’s attempted murder,I’d have just shot the SOB.
You can bet that witness will be hauled into court and identified by the defense attorney to discourage anyone else from standing up to criminals.
“The perp hit the officer 6 to 12 times in the head.That’s attempted murder,I’d have just shot the SOB.”
Yup.
Will the armed citizen be charged with a hate crime?
The sad part of the story is that Tremaine and his twin brother Jermaine were just trying to turn their lives around but were micro-aggressed by white privilege, which is the real culprit here.
A law abiding citizen with a legal weapon in hand is the best friend any cop anywhere has.
And, oh never mind all the political butt kissing gun grabbing Chiefs around the country that publicly whine about CCL. That is until a citizen like this one saves one of his cops butt.
Good work whoever you are. Next time, do society a favor and just shoot the bastard.
Not in Oklahoma.
Jermaine should be dead.
Hope you’re right.
So, was Jermaine unarmed or what?
Not sure if i would have given the cop beater a chance to stop.
When being used to beat one about the head and shoulders, a police baton can be considered a deadly weapon...
