The incident which occurred on Thursday resulted in the involvement of the SWAT team. Police initially pulled over 30-year-old Kendrick Parry for not stopping at a stop sign.

However, when police attempt to arrest Parry, he fled in his vehicle, dragging one of the officers for 20 feet behind his car.
The officer was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries.
