(Black) Man Shot, Killed After Running Over (White female) Arlington Officer Twice!
 ARLINGTON – Arlington Police say it’s amazing an officer is alive after being run over not once, but twice. The driver of the car was shot and killed with three passengers, including a 2-year-old girl, in the back seat. Arlington Police said during a traffic stop for allegedly throwing drug paraphernalia out a window, a 14-year veteran corporal officer realized the driver, 23-year-old Tavis Crane, had a warrant for evading arrest and a probation violation. With two backup officers behind her, the corporal tried to persuade Crane to get out of the car. “The female corporal, just as polite as she can be, basically pleading with the driver, ‘Hey, you’re under arrest. you need to get out of the vehicle’,” Police said Crane started to roll up the windows and take off. The backup officer tried to reach for the keys as the corporal moved back from the car. “When she started to cross between her patrol car, that’s when the vehicle got put into reverse,” Cook said. “It knocked her down to the ground. Ran over her with the rear axle. And then the driver put it in drive and ran her over again. Now you’re in a situation where you’ve got an officer in the car while this is unfolding.” The officer in the back seat pulled his weapon. Crane was shot multiple times in the torso. Police used emergency medical kits they carry and performed CPR, but Crane died. Sources said the officer suffered broken ribs, lower vertebrae and ankles. - (Black-on-white) |
