(CNN) A police officer in Meridian, Mississippi, has been fired after using his stun gun against a handcuffed suspect during a recent arrest, according to an official with the Meridian police department.

Officer Daniel Starks had chased a shoplifting suspect out of a Walmart on foot, but the man was able to get to his van and drive away, Meridian Police Capt. John Griffith told CNN. Another officer pulled the van over as it drove out of the parking lot.

The second officer's car dashcam recorded the July 14 stop and police released the video on Wednesday.

In the video, the officer who pulled over the van draws his gun as he approaches the van, which Griffith said was proper procedure. The officer then holsters the weapon to handcuff the suspect.

Starks drives up in another vehicle and grabs the driver roughly before stepping away, according to the video.
