(Carroll, Iowa/KCCI) — Recently released dashcam and body camera video from Carroll Police officers show a traffic stop in 2021 escalated to the point where an officer pointed as gun at the driver while standing on the hood of the vehcle that was pulled over, but then started to take off.

The incident happened during a normal traffic stop on March 5, 2021. KCCI reports a records check determined Dennis Guider, JR., was wanted on an arrest warrant out of Illinois. He was asked to step out of the vehicle during the traffic stop, but the man apparently panicked and began to pull-away from Carroll Police Officer Patrick McCarty, who was standing in front of the car, jumped onto the hood when he realized Guider wasn’t going to stop.

The vehicle sped away from police with the officer clinging to the car’s roof as speeds picked-up. Audio from the incident revealed McCarty, kneeling on the hood of the car with his gun drawn, yelled at Guider to “Stop the car, man. Stop the car.”

Other squad cars went after Guider while McCarty hung on to the roof. The chase only lasted for about a minute as Guider turned into a gravel lot and drove through a ditch where McCarty lost his grip, fell to the ground, and broke his back.

Guider pleaded guilty in March 2023, two years after the initial chase. During sentencing, Guider’s attorney asked the judge for leniency, arguing McCarty was never trained to step in front of a moving car.
