"An Athens-Clark County Georgia police officer is out of a job after an investigation determined that he purposely rammed his police cruiser into a fleeing suspect.

According to ABC News, Officer Taylor Saulters was first suspended following the incident but was ultimately fired on Saturday.

“After reviewing the officers’ body camera footage, and all the other facts and circumstances of this case, Chief Scott Freeman terminated the employment of Officer Taylor Saulters,” the Athens-Clarke County PD said in a statement.

The encounter occurred on Friday. Saulters is seen in his cruiser driving after the suspect, identified as Timmy Patmon, who was wanted on a felony probation warrant and was attempting to escape on foot. Saulters used his vehicle in an attempt to first block Patmon’s path, but he dodges the vehicle and kept running.

That was when Saulters rammed his vehicle into Patmon, causing him to roll up the hood of the vehicle, before collapsing on the ground."
