Nicholas D. Peters, 30, is facing charges in the city after injuring an officer while trying to avoid being arrested after he was caught red-handed in a car that was reported stolen.

The incident was reported shortly after 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning at the intersection of North Conkling Street and Pulaski Highway.

After stopping at the intersection, officers approached Peters' stolen vehicle, but he instead accelerated and dragged one investigator for several feet, according to police.

Peters was ultimately stopped, and when he was taken into custody complained of leg pain and was taken to an area hospital. Charges are pending.

The injured officer was also transported to the hospital for treatment of undisclosed injuries.
