SAVANNAH, Ga. — An officer’s body camera captured the moment he was violently dragged by a suspect fleeing in a vehicle.

According to WBTW, the officer was in the area on a shoplifting call Saturday when he recognized a possible suspect in another unsolved crime.

As the officer approached the suspect, 23-year-old Brandon Christopher Adams, the suspect was instructed to take his keys out of the ignition.

Adams refused the officer’s command multiple times. As the officer moved to pull the keys out of the ignition, Adams sped off – bringing the officer with him as he fled.

The officer was tossed from the vehicle and purposely rolled away in order to avoid getting run over by the wheels.

According to WSAV, Adams turned himself in Thursday in connection to the incident and is charged with aggravated assault of a police officer and felony obstruction of an officer.

The officer survived the incident without serious injuries, according to the report.
