When officers tried to detain the 18-year-old driver—identified as Cameron Carter—he resisted, and a struggle ensued. During the altercation, an officer injured his leg, fracturing his fibula and tibia.
Carter fled on foot, and another officer pursued. Moments after the chase began, a civilian helped the officer locate the suspect on the opposite side of a tall fence.
"You was just being detained, bro," the resident is heard in body camera footage telling Carter.
The officer and the civilian spoke with Carter and convinced him to surrender peacefully. He was then handcuffed and taken into custody as officers searched the vehicle.
During the search, police found 6.7 grams of suspected marijuana. Carter was charged with seatbelt and insurance violations, possession of marijuana, obstruction, aggravated battery against a law enforcement officer and simple assault on a law enforcement officer.
