Dashcam footage showed a police officer being run over on a busy interstate by a suspect who fled down a Tennessee highway.
Roy Nicholson, 26, of Columbia, was pulled over on I-65 North between Murfreesboro Road and McEwen Drive around 10.30am on Sunday for a 'traffic violation'.
He 'asked Nicholson to step out of his car after seeing a gun in the vehicle and smelling marijuana.'
Dashcam footage shows Nicholson resisting arrest and fighting off with Franklin Police Officer Dustyn Stevens, who attempts to keep the man's hands behind his back.
Nicholson can be heard yelling 'sir, stop,' as he pushes Stevens away. Stevens manages to keep ahold of him, backing the two up against Nicholson's white car.
As they continue to struggle, Nicholson manages to open the driver's side door as Officer Matt Lamarr pulls up in another cruiser and races toward the two men.
Both officers can be seen aggressively trying to pull Nicholson out of the car, who starts to pull away, taking both officers with him.
The dramatic footage shows Lamarr harshly hitting the ground after being dragged a few feet, but Stevens can be seen getting dragged down the highway as Nicholson merges onto the highway.

Try finding a car in Memphis without a cloud of weed and a gun going down the road? It’s really bad.

Your post made it unnecessary for me to check out the link. 😀😂🤗

Victor Davis Hanson addressed the cops’ dilemma in these types of cases yesterday. He hears from lots of cops that they say they are simply not responding to calls where a certain element is likely to disobey, fight them and probably go for the officers gun, putting them in a kill or be killed situation. Then all minorities suffer due to lack of law enforcement in their communities and soaring crime rates.
I would have rammed his car if I had seen that. Idiot.
White people commit crimes as well, but when you read about really crazy chit like this, it’s “always” a black person.
Do i REALLY need to look?
Yeah, and I think this happened south of Nashville? Williamson County/Franklin is a pretty nice area I think?
“My main message is to the parents of Roy Nicholson. You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Roy,” Obama said.
Gotcha. I drove through the outskirts of Memphis once. That was enough.
I can’t really talk. I lived in Wilmington for 14 years and now outside of Philly for 7.
I’m closer than I like to Philly, Camden, Chester, Wilmington...all human toilets...
Nicholson was arrested outside of a Walmart after witnesses were able to provide information on his location and he was charged with two counts of aggravated assault against a first responder and felony evading.
He is free on the $40,000 bond set by the magistrate and is due back in court on June 9.
This is in Franklin, an affluent south suburb of Nashville.
I was unaware. Thank you.
I live in the “hood” in Memphis and people here cannot drive. They run stop signs and red lights all the time.
