Modesto, CA – A group of Good Samaritans jumped in to help a Modesto police officer who was fighting for his life against a suspect who was trying to steal his duty weapon on Tuesday afternoon.
The incident occurred as the officer was responding to a report of a potential vehicle burglary outside the Star Food & Liquor Store on Yosemite Boulevard on May 25, The Modesto Bee reported.
The officer made contact with the suspect, 31-year-old Daniel Steffens, who initially appeared to be cooperative and compliant with him, security footage showed. But when the officer went to take Steffens into custody, the suspect went on the fight.
Police said Steffens tried to take the officer’s Taser and duty firearm during the violent brawl that ensued, KOVR reported.
The video showed the officer and the suspect as they fell to the pavement.
Bystanders heard the officer screaming for help and immediately rushed to his aid.
“His holster was actually hanging down and he had broken two of the safety restraints that keep someone from taking an officer’s gun,” witness Mark Davis told KOVR.

The video showed a woman and two men jumping into the fray and grabbing Steffens’ arms and legs.
“There was an officer and three others,” Davis told KOVR. “This girl puts him in a chokehold and that’s what it took to take the guy down and to help that officer.”The Good Samaritans pulled the suspect’s hand away from the officer’s gun, Davis explained. “Each person had a limb, holding him down,” he said. “I don’t know if the officer would have gone home to his family that night if that guy would’ve been able to get his gun.”Modesto Police Department (MPD) spokesperson Sharon Bear said Steffens’ attempt at stealing the officer’s gun was nearly successful.Bear confirmed that Steffens was able to get past three safety mechanisms and had the officer’s gun “partially out of the holster,” but said the officer was able to keep ahold of the suspect’s hand so he couldn’t fully gain control of the weapon, according to The Modesto Bee.Steffens, who had blood on his face and head by the end […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
