Karl Frost

Karl "Jack" Frost, who tried to make a "citizen's arrest" of a jogger last week in Gilbert, told police he struggles with "inner demons" now that he's no longer a police officer.

Frost believes he was right to restrain the 52-year-old jogger, but police arrested him after the morning dust-up on suspicion of unlawful imprisonment and other charges.

His explosive anger can be heard in a recording of the call he made to 911 while holding on to the victim. Check out the call at the bottom of this post.

As Frost explained to us last week, he was a London Metropolitan police officer for 14 years before moving to Arizona a few years ago and becoming a U.S. citizen.

In a police report obtained by New Times, Frost, 47, is quoted as telling a police officer he spent nine years in the British Special Air Services before becoming a SWAT officer in London.

"Karl told me he had been trained his entire life to meet conflict with violence, which was creating a problem now that he was a civilian," the report states. "Karl said he 'struggled with inner demons' over the ability to enforce laws as he used to."

That seems to explain a few things.

Like why Karl, who goes by "Jack," decided to confront a man for something as petty as unlawfully jogging in a bike lane. And why Frost decided to restrain the man until police arrived. And perhaps even why, in 2005, Frost ended up being Tasered by Chandler police in his home after a squabble with his wife.

Frost told us on Friday that he didn't make a citizen's arrest because the guy was jogging in a bike lane, but because the jogger "shoved" him.

However, statements by Frost in the police report and the 911 call make it clear that Frost was enraged over the fact that the man, Kevin Thompson, was running in the bike lane. According to the report, it wasn't until after Frost was arrested that he mentioned the alleged "assault" by Thompson.

He's yelled at me multiple times. How sad that my quiet little community of people who share the road now have to live in fear of this guy. The rest of us all share the road just fine.

John

That 911 recording is my chuckle for the day! lol!! Somebody get a net!

Sam

What color is the boathouse at Hereford?

I have to agree with this guy. If he has problems with a jogger running in the bike lane he definitely is fighting some inner demons.

This may be the real reason he left the UK for Sand Land, thinking he could just shoot everyone who disagrees with him.

I'm surprised he isn't part of the command staff of a local county agency.

This fellow needs a prison term and taking of his gun rights since he is a murderer waiting for a place to happen! I am surprised he was not charged with kidnapping!

Tommy Collins

["After being told he was under arrest on suspicion of assault, disorderly conduct and unlawful imprisonment...."]

Unlawful imprisonment is actually "kidnapping"...

A 14 year veteran of UK police swat? Now unless they retire them at 14 years one can wonder why he did not say retired UK police swat? My guess is he left in a mode other than voluntary, one might assume he left for being unfit! Anyone doing a citizen arrest on a jogger in a bicycle lane is a bit off their rocker! Then couple that with his pornography occupied wife, I doubt him or his life is anything close to stellar!

WhoKnows

Who will film his wife for their porn site?

Lol. Okay all joking aside, if he grabbed me, he would eat a couple of .45 hollowpoints. Jeesh..

That's precisely what I saying all along. Until another "jerk" from the MCSO comes along and blathers that you're a "pussy" for exercising your right to defend yourself.

Remember this is Sandland. Not England. That "chap" has better wise up.

You can't use deadly force against a guy who grabs your arm. You can only use deadly force against somebody that threatens or attempts to use deadly force against you. That's why you were called a pussy...you want to kill people when you lose a fight. And no, I have nothing to do with MCSO.

...and then the charges are dropped when the DA looks at the case and sees that there is little to no chance of a conviction. See the cases of Dave Appleton and Kyle Levitt for proof.

...and then you are rightfully booked into jail for murder.

You can use deadly force against someone who grabs your arm if you feel that your life is in imminent danger. People are frequently killed or permanently disabled by "unarmed" assailants who use nothing more than fists and feet against the victim, therefore any physical assault on a person (even grabbing another person's arm during an argument) could easily be construed as a potentially life-threatening attack.
