(NBC NEWS) – A former police detective is suing a Kansas sheriff’s deputy for running him over with his truck in order to arrest him.
35-year-old Lionel Womack says he was returning to Kansas from a business trip in California on August 15th when he was pulled over by a deputy.
Womack says he complied, but when three additional vehicles showed up and surrounded his car he “freaked out” and ran away in an open field.
That’s when dashcam video shows a Kiowa County Sheriff’s truck turn toward him and run him over.
