A Cedar Rapids police officer is recovering after being injured during a traffic stop.

Police say it happened when the officer was trying to arrest a man for a suspended license Wednesday morning.

Police say Phillip Rogers refused to get out his vehicle on 33rd Avenue SW. The officer tried to get Rogers out, but police say he began to accelerate.

The car dragged the officer, who had minor injuries.

Authorities later arrested Rogers, who's charged with assault on a peace officer causing bodily injury.

Just last month, a somewhat similar incident ended very differently.

A Cedar Rapids officer was trying to arrest a man after pulling him over in a traffic stop. The encounter led to an altercation and the driver tried to drive away.

The officer shot him, he's now paralyzed. A grand jury cleared the officer of any criminal wrongdoing.
