OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say an Omaha officer suffered only minor injuries after being dragged during a vehicle stop.
Television station KETV reports that the incident happened around 3 a.m. Monday in north Omaha when a man in a car that had been stopped jumped into the driver's seat and took off.
Police said an officer who tried to stop the man was dragged about a block down before being released.
Police said the car kept going west on Dodge Street, leading other officers on a chase. Tire-puncturing strips were used to disable the car, which then crashed in a parking lot.
Police said the officer who was dragged and the suspect were checked by medics, and the suspect was arrested.
