Amazing Arizonans: Man who saved life of DPS trooper being fatally beaten shares story

What would you do if you found yourself in a life or death situation?

Thomas Yoxall, my guest on this week’s episode of Amazing Arizonans, drove past a harrowing scene while on his way to California one day.

While driving past an accident scene on the Interstate 10, he saw a man brutally beating a DPS trooper on the side of the road.

Thomas sprung into action, shooting the suspect to save the trooper’s life.

He walks me through what happened that day, as well as how it changed his life. He is a humble man of deep faith who was a pleasure to speak to. I hope you love this episode as much as I loved speaking with him.
