Police: Man arrested in southern Utah for attempting to disarm officers during traffic stop, then grabbing own gun from backpack
According to an arrest report, an officer with the Washington County Sheriff's Office pulled over 48-year-old Jay Scott Taylor for windshield obstruction and improper registration. During the traffic stop, police say a K-9 performed a"free air sniff" around the outside of the vehicle with a positive result.
Police say Taylor broke away from the officers and ran back to his vehicle and grabbed a backpack from inside. As officers grabbed him again, he allegedly pulled a handgun from the backpack. The officers were then able to disarm him and put him in handcuffs. They said during the struggle, another handgun fell out of the backpack and both were loaded.
