An investigator with the Chemung County Sheriff’s Office is fighting for his life after being thrown from the hood of a moving car while trying to apprehend a suspect in Big Flats Friday night.
On Friday, the Chemung County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police were conducting a joint retail theft operation in Consumer Square, in the Town of Big Flats. At about 6:45 pm, while pursuing a larceny suspect in the Target parking lot, the subject ran towards a getaway vehicle and jumped on the hood with Inv. Mike Theetge in close pursuit tackling him on top of the hood. The driver accelerated the vehicle and then jerked the wheel, causing Inv. Theetge to be thrown from the vehicle hood, falling onto his back while holding the suspect, who landed on top of him, rendering the officer unresponsive. As a result of the driver’s actions, Inv. Theetge sustained a skull fracture and brain bleed. He remains in critical condition at Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. An Officer Down call was radioed at approximately 6:50 pm, which resulted in a multi-agency response.
The larceny suspect was taken into custody immediately. He was identified as Dominick Haley, a black male, age 24, of Ithaca. Haley was charged with two counts of Assault in the 2nd Degree, a Class C Violent Felony, Resisting Arrest, and Petit Larceny, both Class A Misdemeanors. Hakey was arraigned in Big Flats Town Court and remanded to the Chemung County Jail in lieu of $100,000 cash / $200,000 property bond.

At least they pointed out his race do I don’t have to go digging around to verify what we already know
if it happened in Ithaca it surly would...
“He was identified as Dominick Haley, a black male, age 24, of Ithaca.”
Do my eyes deceive me? A “BLACK” male?? Some editor is calling Lucas in for a severe tongue lashing.
Unprintable.
Gee, that always works out fine on TV.
They need an editor! So the officer in the suspect were on the hood, a getaway driver, drove or swerved, or stopped to throw them off. Two people apparently arrested, the driver is the most serious criminal of the two, but maybe take them both out and shoot them and be done with them.

And why did it take a day for the officers to get around to arresting the driver who caused the injuries?
I don’t know about the rest of you, but jumping on the hood of a fleeing car is my preferred way to apprehend someone.
I saw the YouTube. He should have shot him at the beginning before he picked up speed.
Because she ran off. Left the car and ran off and got away. It happens. This did NOT happen in Ithaca, it happened in a very red area. We don’t put up with crap here, as evidenced by the fact the leos were on a shoplifting crack down mission when this all happened.

Wonder if either has made bail.
No info on whether either are, as they say, previously known to law enforcement.
