Damon explained to her: \u201cI\u2019m going to drag you out of this car,\u201d She could also be heard shouting back. \u201cI want you to drag me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, she continued to hurl obscenities and insults at Damon as he proceeded to do exactly what she had told him to do \u2014 drag her by the arm through the parking garage from his vehicle to the door. WFLA reported that Damon did not inflict any injuries on her.<\/p>\n<p>Damon called upon booking officers to help him get the woman to her feet.<\/p>\n<p>When the department made its announcement <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/12\/28\/tampa-police-officer-fired-after-dragging-woman-into-jail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Damon\u2019s termination<\/a> On Tuesday, however they stated that he had broken a number department policies by delivering the woman to prison. They stated that he should have called the booking officers immediately after she refused to get out the car. And in addition, they noted that he had responded to her insults by making rude and insulting comments about her \u2014 and they said that it was his responsibility to remain professional in spite of her comments and actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout the incident, the female repeatedly used vulgar and obscene language. Rather than remaining professional, Damon himself made rude and derogatory comments to the arrestee,\u201d investigators reported. Additional reports noted that department policy \u2014 as of 2013 \u2014 explicitly stated that dragging an uncooperative person was not acceptable behavior. Damon was with the department from 2016.<\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tampabay.com\/news\/tampa\/2022\/12\/27\/tampa-police-officer-loses-job-after-dragging-woman-into-jail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investigators determined<\/a> that there had been no just cause for Damon\u2019s policy violations, interim Police Chief Lee Bercaw announced Damon\u2019s termination and issued a statement of his own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProfessionalism is not only expected, it is demanded, in every encounter our officers have with the public, regardless of the arrestee being uncooperative or unpleasant in return.
