• A Tampa police officer was fired after he was caught dragging a woman on the ground into jail, the department said in a statement.
• When the officers and the woman arrived at the Orient Road Jail, the suspect refused to leave the patrol car. “I want you to drag me!” she said.
• “Damon took the individual by the arm, dragging her from the vehicle to the entrance of the jail where he then buzzed the door entrance, prompting two deputies to come outside and assist with raising the individual from the ground and beginning the jail intake process,” the department said in a statement.
