    Man armed with knife attempts to ambush officer outside police department

    Chowchilla, California — During the early morning hours of Sunday March 17, 2019, 47 year old Paul Clingham was arrested outside of the Chowchilla Police Department.
    Clingham was seen on video surveillance camera, circling the department on a bicycle. A closer examination of the video showed that Clingham was at the rear area of the department carrying a large “butcher” type knife. As one of the officers walked outside of the department, he noticed that there was a bicycle laying in a parking spot where a patrol car is normally parked. The officer, used his training and experience and began to believe that the bicycle could have been placed there as a distraction. Believing this to be the case, the officer cautiously began scanning the area and looked to areas where a person could be hiding or waiting.


    The officer observed Clingham standing in a corner area holding the knife in his right hand. Immediately, the officer ordered Clingham to drop the knife who started to advance of the officer. Commands were given by the officer again, to drop the knife and lay on the ground, while pointing his duty weapon at Clingham. After several commands, Clingham finally complied and dropped the large knife. Clingham was then taken into custody

    After being placed into custody, Clingham was found to be in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. He was also found to have an active warrant out of Kansas for attempted murder. According to Clingham, he stated the warrant was due to him stabbing a correctional officer in that state.
    Clingham was booked into Madera County jail, for the warrant as well as the additional felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon, threatening/ resisting arrest and several misdemeanor charges which included the possession of methamphetamine.


    The cop was wise to take this serious

    It’s good to know that there are still some LEOs that are able to apprehend a person without lethal means.

    Seriously? If he had continued to advance, he would have been shot. And rightfully so.

    Yes seriously. At least he was given time enough to comply. Let me know how I can make it any more simple for you.

    How much do you know about knife wielding attackers? What kind of distance can they cover, and what is the minimum needed to draw and fire? I'm guessing you know little to nothing on the subject.

    You and your ilk insisted on body worn cameras, you should spend a little time watching some footage. Leftist rhetoric is getting cops killed. Of course, that probably pleases you no end.

    It was handled well by the officer. His instincts were right and he handled it appropriately .

    They make medication for histrionics.

    Go back and read what I posted, then look at your latest response. You are unhinged.
