Man Caught in Tool Following Police Dragging Incident

DALLAS — A man accused of dragging a Cockrell Hill police officer with his car has been caught in East Texas. Police say an officer had stopped a vehicle and told the driver to get out of the car. When the officer opened the door, the suspect took off. Chief Steven Barlog says, “The officer was entangled in the door, was dragged approximately 15 feet, and then the vehicle ran over Officer Dominguez’s legs, from which he suffered a broken ankle.” Barlog says police got a call from the small town of Tool, in Henderson County, that suspect Ramiro Miranda was staying at a home in the area. He was arrested and charged with aggravated assault on a public servant with a deadly weapon. He also had an outstanding warrant. Bond has been set at $250,000.
