Man who dragged police officer will spend eight years in prison

DAYTON — A man accused of dragging a Dayton police officer with his car will spend eight years in prison, under a plea agreement reached Friday, Oct. 23.

Gregory L. Walz, 53, pleaded guilty of all indicted charges, which included felonious assault on a police officer with serious physical harm, felonious assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon, failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer and vandalism.

Walz will be sentenced on Dec. 2 by Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Michael L. Tucker.

Walz’s trial was to start Monday. He faced a maximum of 26 years in prison had he been convicted of all charges at trial.

Walz was at the First Street Recycling Center on June 16 trying to cash in some brass fittings and copper when he was questioned by Detective Jamie Bullens. Walz hopped in his white Jeep Liberty and tried to take off. Bullens was dragged about 30 feet before Walz hit a wall.
