CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) -- A naked man attacked a Cape Girardeau police officer and tried go to grab his gun before officers used a stun gun to subdue him.
The incident happened Sunday afternoon as police responded to a call of an attempted break-in at a trailer park, police spokesman Jason Selzer said. At the scene, police spotted the naked man walking.
As an officer was getting out of his car, the 52-year-old man walked toward the squad car and grabbed the officer, slamming him into the side of the vehicle.
The officer fired his stun gun, but the assailant kept attacking, grabbing at the officer's neck. When the two fell to the ground, the man attempted to grab the officer's handgun, Selzer said.

The man was suspected of being under the influence of drugs, and was taken to a hospital for evaluation.

Any bets as to how many years it takes for this guy to appear again in a news story? The officer reached for the wrong weapon.

Isn't Rush from Cape Girardeau? Was the gun loaded? If so the perhaps he got some of Rush's Viagra.

I am laughing so hard. Yes, a naked man tries to kill a LEO and he goes to the hospital.

Rush's mom is deceased, you scumbag.
To: Graybeard58
Actually, since my divorce, I was thinking of moving into that same mobile home park. I have since changed my mind.

Rush's brother, David, is a lawyer, an author, and a columnist, whose columns are often posted to FR.
Your offensive remark was neither clever nor funny.
To: Conservababe
S'okay....that's what I'm here for, to make YOU feel better. Humorless people that like to jump to conclusions need people like me.
Have nice day!

A reporter claims it was a quote from the police. I doubt it. unless the cops were just having a little fun with a reporter.
