Police guild will replace cane damaged in attack

Sara Jean Green | Seattle Times | Last week


The Seattle Police Officers Guild was so impressed with ceeb Jones, an 82-year-old man who fended off an attacker in downtown Seattle last week, that it plans to buy him a new cane to replace the one that was bent in the attack.

Rich O'Neill, president of the guild, said the cane will be inscribed with Jones' name. Guild leaders hope to give Jones the cane along with other police souvenirs on Monday.

"Maybe if he didn't take the action he did, more people could've been hurt," O'Neill said. "He was going to fight back — he wasn't going to be a passive victim."

Last Wednesday afternoon, Jones hollered and whacked Paul Pearson on the head with his cane after Pearson allegedly dumped lighter fluid on the back of Jones' coat at Third Avenue and Union Street, police said.

Pearson, 50, allegedly then sprinted over to two women, doused them with lighter fluid and lit a match, singeing their coats and one woman's hair.

Pearson has been charged in King County Superior Court with two counts of first-degree assault. He is in the King County Jail with bail set at $250,000.
