Because Of A Man With A “Dear Watson Mustache” 1 Texas Trooper Officer Is Alive Today

Through the years the mustache has lost its way in men’s fashion.

It used to be a man’s man had a nice mustache, and maybe if they wanted to look more rugged they had a beard. Now you’ll be lucky to find a man with a beard, let alone a mustache.

Well one Texas trooper is alive today thanks to a mustached concealed carrier who happened upon him as he was being ambushed by a thug.

Scott Perkins helped save a trooper he saw fighting for his life.

Not thinking about his own life, a local Marine veteran jumped into action and stopped a man from reaching a Bastrop deputy’s gun as the suspect pummeled the officer during a struggle earlier this month.

“Freeze!” Scott Perkins yelled as he pulled out his concealed handgun, pointing at the suspect.

“I’m alive today because of him,” the deputy, 23-year-old Dylan Dorris said Wednesday, reflecting on the events surrounding a disturbance call outside a Bastrop County gas station Jan. 16. “There are no words to explain it. He’s such an outstanding citizen. He’s here for our country, our community and you really feel the love.”

Perkins’ actions caused the suspect to leave Dorris and flee, before he was detained and taken into custody by another deputy and Dorris shortly after

At a time when anti-law enforcement sentiment is seen in many parts of the country, Perkins’ decision to intervene and help Dorris has touched many in the Bastrop sheriff’s department.

“This day and time, a lot of people would just drive by and keep going,” said Sgt. James Davenport, who was the supervising officer of the incident. “To see someone that will stop and help is special.”

The few minutes when Dorris was fighting with the suspect and couldn’t check in with dispatchers felt like an eternity, Bastrop County sheriff’s dispatcher Ruth Amy said.

“It is very emotional, very emotional,” Amy said. “You go into a mode, for a lack of a better term, you go into an emergency mode and you just do what you have to do.”

In those moments, Dorris remembers fearing for his life.

“I remember thinking stay in the fight. Just keep fighting, keep fighting. Do whatever you can do, just stay alive you need to go home,” Dorris said. He was transported to the hospital and treated for minor injuries that night.

Obviously it wasn’t the mustache that saved Dorris, it was his gun and the simple fact he knew how to use it when he was needed.

Thousands of times a year it’s the police with guns who are saving innocent lives, rarely is it the case the opposite is true.

However, because we live in the best country in the world and are still allowed to provide for our own self defense an innocent police officer is able to return home to his family.

Thank you Lord.
