“#Man who spent year in jail on false charges rescues cop from burning car<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n A Pennsylvania man who was once falsely accused of pointing a gun at a cop recently saved an officer from a burning car, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Daylan McLee \u2014 who spent a year in jail awaiting trial on the bogus charges \u2014 was at a family Father\u2019s Day cookout in Uniontown, PA, when he heard a loud crash.<\/p>\n

The brave 31-year-old ran outside and pulled Officer Jay Hanley from the mangled patrol car as flames began to spread into the cabin, saving the cop\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is value in every human life. We are all children of God and I can\u2019t imagine just watching anyone burn,\u201d McLee told the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what other people have done to me, or other officers, I thought, \u2018this guy deserves to make it home safely to his family.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The dad of two had previous run-ins with the police, including being arrested in March 2016 outside an American Legion bar in Dunbar, PA, where a fight had broken out.<\/p>\n

A Pennsylvania State Police trooper had said that McLee pointed a weapon at him twice.<\/p>\n

But security footage showed that McLee had actually disarmed a man at the scene, and then quickly discarded the gun.<\/p>\n

McLee, who is black, spent a year behind bars before a jury acquitted him of the charges after reviewing the video, according to the AP.<\/p>\n

He filed a lawsuit in late 2018 against four troopers for wrongful arrest. The suit claims the officers lied in a police report about the incident and falsified charges against McLee after one of the troopers fired two shots at him and hit a nearby house.<\/p>\n

A few months ago, McLee had another encounter with police, in which he said he ran from a porch gathering after plainclothes cops app<\/a>roached with guns drawn.<\/p>\n

The cops did not announce they were officers, and he stopped running and put his hands behind his head when they yelled they were police, McLee said.<\/p>\n

He said he was charged with fleeing and resisting arrest, and that an officer kicked him in the face through a fence, splitting his lip, as he was being taken into custody.<\/p>\n

McLee said the use of force was caught on a security camera and he plans to fight the charges.<\/p>\n

Still, he stressed the importance of forgiveness, saying he couldn\u2019t blame every police officer for bad interactions he had with any others.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to work on our humanity\u2026,\u201d McLee said. \u201cYou can\u2019t base every day of your life off of one interaction you have with one individual.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uniontown Police Lt. Thomas Kolencik\u2019s voice cracked as he told WTAE-Pittsburgh that the department was thankful McLee was nearby when the crash happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaylan actually said, \u2018I\u2019m not going to let him die,\u2019\u201d Kolencik told the TV station. \u201cThere\u2019s just no words to describe, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several of Officer Hanley\u2019s relatives have thanked McLee for his heroic act, as have other cops and even the police chief.<\/p>\n

Officials said Hanley is recovering after undergoing surgery for a serious injury to his leg that he sustained during the crash.<\/p>\n

After the collision, McLee said he realized he had spoken to Hanley maybe three weeks earlier when the officer was on patrol.<\/p>\n

\u201cI realized after, that I\u2019d seen him. He speaks to people; he says hello; he isn\u2019t an officer that harasses anybody. He commented to me about the heat was coming for us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

McLee said he is trying to teach his 13-year-old son Avian not to judge others for the color of their skin, what job they have or what other people may say about them.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people may think I look intimidating\u2026 and I can\u2019t hate the trooper who shot at me for what he doesn\u2019t know,\u201d McLee said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to be called a hero. I just want to be known as an individual who is an upstanding man. No matter\u2026 what or where, just an upstanding person,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd I hope (that trooper) sees this and knows he\u2019s forgiven.\u201d<\/p>\n
