"DENVER — Two passers-by saved a police officer Saturday as she was allegedly being beaten by a suspect on the side of the road, the Denver Police Department reported.
About 5 p.m. Saturday, Officer Aubree Thompson contacted Stephen Hamper, 26, along the on-ramp leading from Downing Street to I-25, DPD said. Witnesses had reported that Hamper was washing clothes in a drain on the highway.
Thompson judged that the suspect was acting strange, and moved to handcuff him. She was able to get one cuff on, but Hamper then attacked her, punching her several times in the face, DPD alleged.
Hamper broke loose from Thompson, and ran to her patrol car, possibly looking for a weapon or her keys. He then returned and resumed beating the officer in her face and body, DPD said. Officer Thompson was knocked to the ground, and Hamper managed to pin her and continue striking her, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Hamper then allegedly tried to take Thompson’s pistol, but she was able to retain it.
Thompson said she saw a citizen standing nearby and could hear him telling Hamper to get off of her and to stop. Two other citizens subsequently stopped and helped Thompson wrestle Hamper into custody, DPD said.
Police allege that during the assault, Hamper said, “If I would have gotten her gun, I would have killed her. You guys kill children and old ladies.”
Hamper has prior arrests for domestic violence, harassment involving physical force, obstructing police, burglary, trespassing in a dwelling, property damage, DUI and careless driving, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
The officer was out of the hospital Monday night."
