LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A man has been arrested in the dragging of a Lincoln police officer.

The Nebraska State Patrol took the suspect into custody Thursday night in Nebraska City.

Lincoln police say the officer was trying to arrest the man a little before 5 p.m. on suspicion of shoplifting. The officer reached into the man’s vehicle and struggled with him as he drove forward and backward, dragging the officer until the officer let go or was forced off.

Police Capt. Jeri Roeder said the officer’s injuries were not considered life-threatening.

The names of the suspect and the officer haven’t been released.
