A Georgia police officer is recovering at home after he was injured when a fleeing shoplifting suspect dragged him over 100 yards during a traffic stop.

The incident happened shortly before 4:30 p.m. when Covington police pulled over a 19-year-old woman, later identfied as Destinee Riggins, accused of shoplifting at a Walmart. While he was talking to Riggins, who was in her car, she sped off with the officer clinging to the window.

The officer was dragged over 100 yards before he let go of the vehicle, and Riggins kept driving. He was still holding her driver's license when bystanders came over to help him.

"When he hit the ground, obviously he was out of breath, there was a lot of pain," Det. Daniel Seals said.

Riggins was arrested at home a few hours following the dragging incident. Investigators discovered that she had had a stolen handgun in a bag during the stop.

Riggins was charged with aggravated assaulton a police officer and armed robbery. She could still face additional charges.

The officer suffered scrapes and bruises from the dragging, and he is recovering the at home.

You'd have to be a complete dumbass to hang onto the car like that but a chimp caught a case over it.
