The Jug Saloon is still standing today after a man doused it in gasoline, Wednesday afternoon. And it’s all because a good Samaritan tackled the suspect before he could light the fire.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — with a couple of gallons of gas in each hand and was dousing it around and was saying he was going to burn the place down,” Gray said.“I’m concerned not only for the bar, but for his well-being with him being in that mental state,” Gray said.
In the video, you can see the moment when everyone realized he had doused the place with fuel. But soon after, a good Samaritan took action and tackled him.“I would have never thought in a million years that he would do something like this,” Gray said. Gray said the suspect then ran into the woods, and police looked for him with a chopper and a K-9 unit.“We’re going to make sure that he don’t come in again – we’re going to have that fixed,” Gray said. “But we won’t have him come in running around with gasoline trying to burn the place down.”
Gray says a lot of people like coming to this place and taking pictures. The bar was named after Lynyrd Skynyrd’s song “Gimme Three Steps.”Police on scene said the State Fire Marshal is investigating.
