Officer probed for allegedly punching woman

OGDEN, Utah Dash cam video from last August shows Sgt. Andrew Davenport punching Darla Wright after she allegedly evaded police and led them on a chase.

Police eventually stopped the 53-year-old by blocking her between two squad cars.

Davenport said he struck Wright because she refused to comply with orders and kept her foot on the accelerator in attempts to escape.

Wright was eventually arrested on several charges.

Davenport has been placed on paid administrative leave.
