On Jan. 30, Dayton officers tried to take Jarrett into custody. While Jarrett was pulled up to a gas pump on E. Third Street, several officers pulled up to both the front and back of Jarrett’s SUV and turned their emergency lights on.

Dash camera video shows Jarrett put his SUV in reverse and back into one of the cruisers behind him. He pulls forward slightly as officers throw stop sticks under his SUV, but then he reveres into the cruiser again.

After hitting the cruiser a second time, another Dayton officer rams his cruiser into the driver’s side of the SUV. As officers surround the sides of the SUV with their weapons drawn, Jarrett puts the SUV in drive and takes off between two gas pumps.
