A retired police officer saw what was happening and jumped in to help. Authorities told Channel 2 Action News that the retired officer tackled Yancey and held him until officers arrived.
"The retired officer walked off and went into the QT to get his coffee. (He) came out and watched the rest of the event," said Suwanee Police Capt. Shane Edmisten.
