Body camera footage shows a man reaching for an officer’s gun and punching the officer in the head before running off. The video shows the dramatic ending when two bystanders jump in to help the officer arrest the man. It was Tuesday when Officer Austin Williams went to the Sam’s Club in Provo to conduct a welfare check. Police got calls that a disoriented man was walking around asking people for water in the parking lot. While welfare checks typically amount to nothing this one escalated quickly. Officer Williams explained the moments when he first approached the man. “He kind of looked at me and waved me off and I said do you need some water,” Senior Provo Police Department Officer Austin Williams said. That's when the man, who we now know is Emiliano Medina, turned back. “He quickly pointed at my side and made a gun motion with his hand and pointed it at his head,” Williams said. That’s when the officer says the man stepped toward him, reaching for his gun. “Being a dad the first things out of my mouth were don't touch that,” Williams said. “I kind of hesitated for a millisecond to go 'did that just happen' and then once I realized it did I had to take action at that point.”While grabbing Medina's left arm, Medina used his right arm to punch officer Williams in the head. “I tried to trip him and put him on the ground and as soon as he went down he pushed back up and at that point was able to pull away from my grasp,” Williams said.
Williams said he lunged toward Medina but he ran around him and started running through the gas pumps. That's when a man in a white t-shirt near the pumps takes action. “Right as he's catching up to the guy another guy comes around and kind of gets in his way and shoulder checks him and stops him,” Williams said. Then the other man took Medina to the ground. “I was like holy cow that was NFL hardest hits kind of stuff,” Williams said. Had it not been for these men, Officer Williams likely wouldn't have been able to catch Medina because backup wasn't on the way. “I had notified other officers that I needed help but it didn't come across the radio,” Williams said. After eleven years of watching over Provo, Officer Williams is grateful to know the community has his back. Provo Police are looking for the man in the white shirt so they can thank him. As for Medina, police say he did have meth in his system and is now facing several charges including assaulting an officer. Police say while going to the hospital Medina repeatedly said, “just kill me,” and when nurses spoke with him he had no idea what he had done.

The Meridian Police Department on Wednesday released the dash cam video of a police officer using excessive force against a shoplifting suspect.
The video shows officer Daniel Starks pushing the suspect and tasing him while the suspect was in handcuffs. Starks has been terminated for the incident.
“[Starks] just said he knew he did wrong,” Meridian Police Chief Benny Dubose said Wednesday.
Dubose said Starks had been with the department for about a year and had a clean record “that we know of.”
Dubose said the July 16 incident began as a shoplifting report at the Walmart on Highway 19. Upon arrival, Starks attempted to arrest the suspect, who got away and fled in his van. Other officers were able to stop the van about 40 to 50 yards away. Starks pulled up moments later.
Starks, who was visibly angry in the video, pushed the suspect, tased him and later tried to lift him from the ground while the suspect was incapacitated. At one point, Starks pulled his taser again but did not discharge it.
“You’ve got to understand this guy just got hit with several volts of electricity,” the chief said. “… Often times, when a person is tased, they have to have a period of recovery.”
Meridian Police Capt. John Griffith said Starks used what is called a “drive stun” where the taser is placed directly on the body.
“We train [officers] to never use them when a suspect is being compliant,” Griffith said.
Dubose said Starks has not been charged criminally, but that could change if the shoplifting suspect decides to press charges.
"It was the swift action of other officers who were there," Dubose said about the termination, which occurred one week after the incident. "They chose to report it as soon as it happened because they were concerned."
The use of excessive force was reported to a supervisor, who passed it to police administration before getting the signature of Mayor Percy Bland, Dubose said.

(ESPN) UFC star Conor McGregor pleaded guilty to a single violation of disorderly conduct in Brooklyn criminal court on Thursday, for his involvement in an incident on April 5 at Barclays Center.
McGregor, who turned 30 this month, entered the plea as part of a deal worked out with the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office. The agreement involves no jail time and will not affect McGregor's travel visa. He will not have a criminal record.
Additional conditions of the deal include full restitution to the bus company for any damages suffered, which McGregor has already fulfilled, five days of community service and an anger management program lasting 1-3 days.
Prior to the deal, McGregor, of Dublin, had faced a possible 12 criminal charges related to the incident, including two felony criminal mischief charges. Those charges carried a maximum sentence of seven years in prison.
In April, McGregor was caught on video throwing a metal dolly into the window of a bus stationed inside the Barclays Center loading dock. The bus was carrying a group of UFC athletes and employees.
Two UFC fighters, lightweight Michael Chiesa and flyweight Ray Borg, reported suffering minor injuries to authorities and were ultimately pulled from their respective bouts on a scheduled pay-per-view event on April 7.
One of McGregor's teammates from SBG Ireland, professional MMA fighter Cian Cowley, was also arrested in April for his involvement in the attack. Cowley also pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct on Thursday.
The resolution of McGregor's criminal case may clear the way for a return to the Octagon later this year.
A potential lightweight title fight between McGregor (21-3) and current champion Khabib Nurmagomedov (26-0) could arguably be the biggest fight in UFC history. Nurmagomedov was on the bus that McGregor attacked, and was the target of the Irish star's actions.
McGregor has not fought in the UFC since November 2016. He made his professional boxing debut in August 2017, suffering a TKO loss to Floyd Mayweather in a highly lucrative crossover event.
