ORLANDO, FL — A man is facing several charges after police said he dragged an officer during a traffic stop, reaching 60 miles per hour.

Bodycam video released this week to WSB-TV's sister station WFTV shows Orlando Police Department officer John Murphy speaking with Zavier Askew during a traffic stop for an expired tag.

The video shows the officer later asks Askew to to get out of the vehicle and pats him down after having him stand by his patrol car.
