BayAreaProud: In the course of a single year, Willie Maquinalez found himself in two dangerous situations, jumping into action to protect others.
The first instance was in September 2018. Maquinalez was volunteering at a Pop Warner tournament at Gilroy High School. Maquinalez knew right away something was out of place when he saw a car where there shouldn't have been one.
"Seeing a car drive in our direction in the practice field," he said."Usually cars aren't parked back there.”After yelling for other parents to shut the gates to the field so the car couldn't get through, Maquinalez confronted the driver, eventually jumping into the man's car, checking to see if he had any weapons.
The suspect took off with Maquinalez in the car, driving toward arriving police officers. One officer shot at the car, unaware that Maquinalez was inside. After the driver bailed out of the car while it was still moving, Maquinalez brought it to a stop before it hit anyone.“How would I live with myself if something did happen and I did nothing? That doesn't sit well with me," he said.
