Lake Wales, FL - An officer with the Lake Wales Police Department and his K9 partner are recovering at home after being dragged and hit during a traffic stop on Sunday.

The department released the body camera video and surveillance video from a nearby gas station showing the moment the two were dragged.

Police said that Marlon Arrindell, 36, was pulled over for going 30 mph over the speed limit. When they pulled him over, they said they realized he was driving without a license.

When the officer tried to arrest him, they said Arrindell resisted and fought with the officer.

The officer radioed to fellow officers that ‘he’s going to run.'

Body camera video shows the officer and his K9 ‘Bolo’ get entangled with the car, then dragged to the ground and hit by the car.

Afterward, a fellow officer on the scene came up to the injured officer.

He asked, "you alright? Where do you hurt?"

The responding officer then said, "Yeah, everywhere."

A short time later, officers found Arrindell on East Bay Boulevard. They say he tried to run and scaled a barbed wire fence. He fell, causing a severe leg injury. He received medical treatment and then went to jail.

Arrindell faces several charges, including aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, injuring a police canine and driving while license suspended.

Amazingly, both of them were okay and walked away with bruises and scratches, even drove themselves to get checked out. They are at home recovering.
