Man accused of dragging officer with car is indicted
DAYTON — A man who dragged a police officer with his car during an incident at a recycling center has been indicted on two counts of felonious assault on a police officer.
The grand jury also indicted Gregory L. Walz, 53, on a count of failure to comply with a police officer’s order and a count of vandalism. The indictment was handed down Thursday, June 25.
Walz was at the First Street Recycling Center, 1321 E. First St., on July 16, where he was trying to sell some metal. Dayton Detective Jamie Bullens, assigned to the Metal Theft Unit, started questioning Walz, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
Walz then got into his car, and Bullens ordered him to stop. As Bullens tried to restrain Walz, Walz put the car into gear and drove forward. He dragged Bullens for about 20 yards before crashing into a concrete wall, the prosecutor’s office said.
Bullens was injured and spent several days in an area hospital, the prosecutor’s office said.
If convicted of all counts, Walz faces a maximum of 26 years in prison, plus more than $50,000 in fines.
