HOOPER, Utah, March 23, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — Two Weber County deputies were lucky to escape without injury after a man about to be cited put his car in reverse, and slammed on the gas, forcing the deputies to jump out of his path.
“A routine traffic stop nearly turned tragic earlier this morning in Hooper,” says a statement released by the Weber County Sheriff’s Office.
“Around 10 a.m., a deputy made a traffic stop on an older Honda Civic for having no insurance near 5100 W. 5400 S. The vehicle had stopped in the driveway of a home and when the Deputy advised the driver he was getting a citation, the man put the car in reverse.
“The Deputy and a back-up Deputy both jumped out of the way after nearly getting hit. The car then hit the front end of a Sheriff’s truck and sped off.”
Deputies found the car a short distance away in a residential area.
“The driver drove into a backyard near 5650 S. 4525 W. and fled on foot,” the WCSO statement says. “With the assistance of Roy PD, Riverdale PD, UHP and a Davis County K-9 Deputy, a perimeter was set up in the area. A local area elementary school was also placed on lockout during the incident.”
A homeowner informed deputies to a possible hiding place. keep reading

SNIP: This type of thing happens a lot, I’m sure. So why did I post the story? For the mugshot. LOL.

“Around 10 a.m., a deputy made a traffic stop on an older Honda Civic for having no insurance near 5100 W. 5400 S.
Not to justify the perps actions, but how did the deputy know the Honda Civic had no insurance?
And I thought I look I unpresentable first thing in the morning!
“The coverup is always worse than the crime” stated backup deputy, Speedbump McGee. “Had he chosen a different hiding place other than Mr Weber’s BBQ grill coverlet, we may never have apprehended him”.
Some people look as crazy as they are.
“A resident alerted deputies that the man may be hiding under his barbecue grill cover in his backyard. Deputies and officers, along with Davis County K-9 Rino, began a search of the yard. The man was spotted under the cover and after multiple commands were given to show his hands, the man would not.”
What gave it away? The bobbing and weaving grill cover? And the grill cover had no arm holes?
He looks like one of our readers. Can’t figure out which one. Could be Bad Brad. But we need a baby photo. Could be any one of us. Even Vietvet.WTF knows? It may be BFH.
I have a dot on my head just like he does, banged it off a kitchen cabinet door. WTF!
Could be Liberal Larry?
Wonder where the dog bit him…. Oh yeah, it says he was in the backyard…….hahahahahhahahahaa!

As Doc once said to me, “There, but for the Grace of God go I.”
In some parts of the world, they chop off your hands for such behavior. Just sayin’.
“The man was 63-year-old Robert Carter, from North Dakota. He was transported to a local hospital for bite wounds sustained from the K-9.”
LMAO!!! Come out, come out wherever you are! Oh there you are, meet Fido!
As time goes on….I care less and less about the gov’t protection forces.
We have the 2nd Amendment right to be armed, and the legal right to defend ourselves. All the police need to do is show up to help haul the body away. When criminals realize 100% of the public is in fact a roving armed police force, they will either learn to stop, choose more vulnerable targets, or be dispatched in a hail of gunfire.
We need LESS gov’t employees, and MORE Patriots taking over the job of security….the way it was supposed to be.

Ask him what he did with that kid at the end of the move Phantasm.
I used to go to family reunions in Hooper, the kind where you wear a name tag and nice grey-haired old women pinch your cheek and ask if you are so-and-so’s boy. I hated it then, but I miss it now.
My father spent his early years on a dirt farm near the shore of the Great Salt Lake, next to the Howard Slough. His parents abandoned it during the Great Depression, because it would take more money than what they had to make the place work.
Hooper’s claim to fame was a visit by Pres. Ronald Reagan himself. My Dad’s cousins, “The Parker Sisters”, who sang for the President, were on the Tonight Show, where they schooled Johnny Carson on the correct pronunciation of the town’s name — Hooper rhymes with hooker.
40 years has not been entirely good to the place. It is merging into the suburban sprawl of the Wasatch Front. There is only about a mile of fields now between the tract homes and the old town.
The police and sheriff’s departments there get their fair share of local troublemakers, so they are ready for this sort of thing. Otherwise, it is, normally, still a fairly bucolic place — until they fill in that last mile.
Then they looked at his driver’s license and saw it looked the same. Yikes. This is normal for him.
His friends don’t call him rufie Robert for nothing.
I felt like he looks, but never looked like he felt.
That’s VOLUMES! Mithrandir.
I want to go full Spartan…
LARRY THE LIBERAL!!
OOPS!! THOUGHT THIS WAS A NAME THE READER POST!!
