WATCH: Officer dragged by getaway driver’s car after suspect runs
Police are looking for a man who tried to fill a fake prescription at a pharmacy in Conyers on Tuesday.
When officers confronted the man, he ran and jumped into the passenger side of a Ford F-150, Conyers police spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Lucas said.
The driver of that Ford did not stop when the officer grabbed the suspect. Since he was being dragged, the officer let go to avoid further injury, Lucas said.
The vehicle was last seen headed west toward DeKalb County.
