Kennesaw, GA — An Army veteran is now suing three Kennesaw police officers he says lied on their police reports in order to charge him with a misdemeanor and a felony after the former soldier disarmed and neutralized a man who was threatening him and several others with a gun. Matthew Solon was arrested along with his attacker on June 26, 2017.
He’s now suing the officers he claims fabricated evidence against him in order to execute a retaliatory arrest.
Solon says he and some friends were enjoying a night on the town at Mazzy’s sports bar in Kennesaw. In the parking lot of the bar, a man by the name of Dwight Cooper came up to him, brandished a firearm, and threatened to use it against the group. The quick thinking veteran says he relied on his military training to subdue Cooper (by pummeling him), disarming him, and calling police. He even unloaded the firearm and rendered it useless and then provided medical attention to his attacker. Everything he did was heroic, lawful, and outright impressive.
When police arrived, to Solon’s surprise, they arrested him as well, saying he disobeyed orders by police and struck Cooper in the head with the firearm, pistol whipping him, “so he would stay down“ (reportedly a quote from Officer Joshua Hale‘s official police report). Solon told reporters following the incident:............https://thefreethoughtproject.com/hero-veteran-disarms-attempted-murderer-cops-show-up-and-arrest-him/
