College football player body slammed Ohio police officer during arrest
An Ohio police officer was body-slammed by an Eastern Kentucky football player during an arrest this week.
Dashcam video hosted by WBNS CBS 10 shows Michael Harris body-slamming a Grove City, Ohio police officer on Monday:
According to Lacey Crisp of CBS 10, officers were responding to a local business’ complaint of “a disturbance with an aggressive man who did not work there and wouldn’t leave.” When officers arrived to the scene, they encountered an apparently intoxicated Harris who can be seen lunging at the officers before picking one of the men up and throwing him to the ground. The officers were eventually able to get Harris, a redshirt sophomore football player, in handcuffs. Crisp’s article notes that, per court records, officers believed Harris did not know where he was or know anyone in the area. There is some good news, as the report states that the officer was not injured.
No excuse for fighting the police. I realize this is a young man, who is prone to make mistakes, however, this is happening all too often in our society.
Southern…I agree with you…Everyone needs to Respect the Badge & the Position. A Young & Stupid young man.
I admit what he did was wrong but lets not act like those to wear the badge aren’t human and don’t commit crimes. How about all people should be respected but lets not put people that have badges on pedal stools.
Well, Crmsontide 69, it is good to know that you know this officer that got assaulted. Next time someone tries to break into your home, don’t call the cops because “cops commit crimes”. Call your neighbor and hope he ain’t as big of an idiot as you are.
Pedal stools… for real?
Pedal stools … like Segways, but different.
Wow, you’re more than a bit out of touch with reality. To follow your point a tiny bit further, you’d think it’s acceptable to body slam your wife into the ground and justify it by saying that “women are human and some women commit crimes”.
This just in… he has been offered a scholarship by Auburn.
Comical coming from a THUGA fan. Have they renamed the Fulmer Cup the DAWG Cup yet?
I heard he has been hired as an assistant coach at Alabama.
“On-field analyst”
He’s been offered a scholarship and a salary by GA. Congrats on a great class Kirby.
I heard he was offered a full ride to Missouri or 3 months in jail, he chose jail.
Well you can’t fault a kid for choosing a like-minded crowd.
And I wish him the best of luck in Athens! :)
Which school was blasted by the NCAA recently…..
Yawn. Everyone knows exactly what that was all about. That’s why the NCAA has been getting blasted non-stp for it. Well thought out.
He actually started at Auburn and then transferred. Maybe he realized this stuff won’t be tolerated there. Kinda funny that your attempted slam backfired a little bit since you didn’t know any facts.
This Just in Dan Mullen Sees potential in this kid
Body slam? Where? I saw a foot slam….kinda.
He’s thuggish enough for Georgia for sure though
You have us confused with Auburn Biggie. Try again. Thugs leave Georgia, not arrive or remain.
Leave it to a UGA fan to not realize that someone has to arrive to Georgia…before leaving lol
Auburn has leased a wing of the Lee County jail for their football dorm. I’m told it’s nearly full.
Good bye player. You’re out of here, after you get out of jail.
I highly doubt it. Liberal thugs keep this misunderstood “good kid” around.
Another glaring example of female officers fluttering around the edges of a fight and tough situation while the guys do the actual combat.
No kidding! I have been on the job since 1995 and met scores of female cops. I could count on one hand those that were any good at the job.
How politically incorrect, But correct you are…
Just another thing who thinks he can do anything and get away with it, and he probably will. Liberal Judge probably feel sorry for him and place him in deferral and after a year his charges dropped like nothing happened. Of course after his football days are over with, he will keep doing his thug life and hurt someone because of this. Don’t you love how the world is these days.
Yep….I totally agree.Another future OJ,or Juicy Smollett give em a free pass now and pay me later in the making.Heck,I get nervous when I come up on a license checkpoint trying to make sure I comply correctly and don’t give the lawmen any reason to think I might be a threat by jumping out of the vehicle,arguing,or moving my hands in a suspicious way.Need to teach compliance training for correct interaction with police before giving anyone a drivers license.
Shame he plays at Eastern Kentucky, if it wasn’t for that we all be looking for him to pop up in the transfer portal…
