Search Continues For Man That Dragged Metro Officer

Posted: Updated:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Field training officer Carlos Anderson was dragged 90 feet by a vehicle Wednesday night after he attempted to arrest a man.

A warrant for attempted criminal homicide was issued for Jeffery Story, and police were still looking for him Thursday.

The two-man police car pulled over 43-year-old Jeffery Story on Arrington Street in East Nashville on a traffic stop. The officers soon found out that Story had warrants for domestic violence and driving on a suspended license.

When the nine-year veteran officer tried to make the arrest, Story refused to get out of the car, so Anderson reached through the open door into the vehicle to extract him. Story quickly slammed the door, pinning Anderson, and put the vehicle in drive.

According to police, while Anderson was being dragged, he ordered Story to stop the truck. Story screamed "No," while he was trying to shake the officer from the car.

Anderson eventually fell off the vehicle, and emergency crews transported him to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

Story dumped his vehicle in an alley near his ex-girlfriend's house and then took her car. He was last seen driving a 2001 blue Ford Mustang with Tennessee license plate number 691WYP.

Anyone with any information should call police at 615-862-8600.
