Florida cop attempts drive-by Tasering, runs over suspect

[Mayhem]

The police department in Pensacola, Florida, has suspended an officer who allegedly attempted to Taser a suspect from inside his squad car before running the man over, resulting in the suspect's death, news reports say.

The incident took place in the early-morning hours of Saturday, when Officer Ard spotted an individual walking around a construction site.

According to witnesses quoted by the News Journal, when the suspect got onto a bicycle and fled the construction site, Officer Ard pursued in his squad car, flashing his lights and even attempting to Tase the suspect from the moving vehicle.

According to the local Fox affiliate, "the man then crashed his bicycle and fell into the path of the officer's patrol car."

The man, who was pronounced dead at the scene, has not been publicly identified.

Officer Jerald Ard has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation by the state.
