Body camera and surveillance video show an Oak Creek police officer being run over while responding to a disturbance call at a local business last month.
The business reported that a man was intoxicated and did not have enough money for the services he was trying to buy. When the officer attempted to resolve the situation with the man and the woman he was with, both refused to comply with his orders.
