Police in Georgia arrested a woman after she was seen on video running over an officer. It happened in Barrow County, Georgia. The incident started as a routine traffic stop over the weekend. When the officer ran the woman’s license, he quickly learned Jessica Fox, 28, had a felony warrant out for her arrest. When he attempted to get her out of the car, she protested, he eventually tased her, but she took off and ran over the officer. The officer was taken to the hospital with a torn achilles tendon and a concussion, according to local reports.
“I wasn’t sure she ran over this leg. I knew for sure she ran over this leg, because I felt it and I heard thump, thump, oh, that’s my leg,” Officer Marc Lofton told WSB-TV.
