ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A St. Petersburg police officer has
been suspended after video showed him dragging an inmate into the Pinellas
County Jail by her shirt.
Officer Christopher Goodwin, 47, received a four-day
suspension, according to a memo released by the St. Petersburg Police
Department. The incident happened on April 13. According to the department,

prisoner."

domestic violence call, between a woman and her boyfriend.Roston asked the
woman to get out of the car. Moments later, police said the officer saw the man
putting his hands underneath his seat and saw a shiny, metal object.That's when
police said the officer shot the man in the leg. Turns out, the suspect did not
have a weapon.
"Officer Roston was wrong in his perception in what the
passenger had in his hand, for he only had his hat. However, what you may not
be aware of is what Roston observed the male passenger doing when he was
reaching under the seat. The passenger was attempting to hide some
marijuana," said Sheriff Gillespie.
