A Pismo Beach man attempted to shoot a policeman on Friday, but his semiautomatic pistol malfunctioned giving the officer an opportunity to subdue the suspect, police said.
During the struggle, Ammons pulled the trigger, attempting to shoot the officer, police said. However, the weapon malfunctioned and did not fire. The altercation between the officer and Ammons then escalated to what some have described as a fist fight. “I quickly grabbed my son and took him to the back of the restaurant and put him behind a wall for protection,” Saldivar said. “I then ran to the front seeing the officer struggle with the suspect. I made the decision to assist the officer with subduing the suspect and putting cuffs on him.”Officers booked Ammons into the San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of drunk driving, attempted murder, resisting arrest, and possession of a loaded firearm in public.
