When an Oklahoma City dad learned that a stranger was making his 9-year-old son feel uncomfortable while waiting for the bus, he knew he had to do something.
The young boy told his parents that “guy touched him on the back and he didn’t like the way it made him feel" while at his school bus stop on Monday, September 20.
On Thursday, September 23, the dad dropped his son off at the stop near Southwest 36th Street and County Line Road and waited in his car in case the man came back. The dad filmed a man jogging past the stop then turn around to be near the kids.
As soon as the man laid a finger on one of the kids, the dad got out of his vehicle and tackled the man. The dad beat the jogger up so badly that he fractured the man's skull and cracked his eye socket, FOX 25 reported.
Cops then arrived and arrested the jogger, who was identified as 33-year-old Michael Coghill. He's now accused of lewd/indecent acts to a child.
The Lakehoma Church of Christ in Mustang previously listed Coghill as a minister on its website, News 9 reported. The church said in a statement that Coghill was "relieved from all duties."
The father who beat up Coghill hasn't been identified or charged with any crime at this time.
