The officer pulled a vehicle over and realized the driver, 23-year-old Tavis Crane, was wanted in Dallas County for felony evading arrest and a probation violation. He also had several outstanding misdemeanor warrants out of Grand Prairie.
The officer called for backup. Then as she tried to arrest Crane he put his vehicle in reverse and hit the officer. He ran over her a second time as he tried to take off.
Other officers quickly responded and fired shots, killing the suspect. There were two other adults and a toddler in the suspect’s vehicle, but they were not hurt.
The officer is in the Hospital in serious condition.
