A Tampa police officer was sacked on Tuesday after he was caught on video dragging a woman across a parking garage to be booked at the Orient Road Jail.
According to the department, former Officer Gregory Damon arrested the woman on Nov. 17 for trespassing and sleeping on the property of a local health clinic. Upon arrival at the jail, the woman refused to leave the car, yelling at the officer “I want you to drag me,” according to body cam footage obtained by Fox13. Damon then proceeded to drag the woman across the concrete floor, stopping once to tell her to get up.
“Rather than remaining professional, Damon himself made rude and derogatory comments to the arrestee,” Tampa Police said in a statement. After an internal investigation, the department said they had determined Damon violated several policies, leading to his termination.
