LAFAYETTE - A man was arrested overnight after running over a police officer and dragging him with the vehicle during a traffic stop.

According to KATC, Lafayette police officers attempted to pull over Jaylin Chavis, 24, for reckless driving in the 400 block of Jefferson Street around 1:20 a.m. Sunday. Chavis refused to stop, leading officers to try and block the vehicle.

The situation escalated when Chavis tried speeding away in reverse, running over one of the officers and dragging him nearly 100 feet.
