The suspected vehicle used to drag a highway patrol officer 200 feet during a traffic stop Monday night has been recovered as the search for the driver continues, according to Philadelphia police sources.
The incident happened just before 10 p.m. in Wissinoming when officers pulled over a silver Tesla for traffic violations near the intersection of Charles Street and Cheltenham Avenue.
The officer was dragged 100 feet in reverse then dragged another 100 feet forward when police say the driver kicked the officer off the vehicle and fled the area. "We know we're looking for someone who's pretty dangerous, pretty desperate to get away for dragging a uniformed highway patrol officer with their vehicle," Small said.
