Bo Staff Scuffle

Utah -- A police officer in Provo was reportedly attacked with a six-foot bo (a wooden martial arts staff) Sunday night in August, according to heraldextra.com.

Police responding to a call concerning a group of people brawling in the street, found the crowd dispersed when they arrived.

An officer called out to the 39-year-old suspect, clearly identifying himself as police. The suspect allegedly refused to comply with the officer's orders to stop. He simply walked back into his house yelling "no!".

Following the suspect into his house, the officer was attacked with the bo staff. Grabbing the weapon, the officer managed to wrestle the suspect to the floor, disarm and handcuff him.

Despite the full uniform and marked car brought to the scene, the suspect didn't identify the police officer.
