Officer fired after dragging woman on ground to jail entrance

A Tampa police officer has been fired after dragging a woman on the ground following an arrest, the department said in a statement.

The Tampa police department fired officer Gregory Damon following an internal investigation that determined he violated multiple departmental policies while booking a suspect into the Orient Road Jail on Nov. 17.

“Professionalism is not only expected, it is demanded, in every encounter our officers have with the public, regardless of the arrestee being uncooperative or unpleasant in return. As law enforcement officers, we are held to a higher standard,” said Interim Police Chief Lee Bercaw.

Body camera footage and surveillance footage has captured the incident.
