Traffic Stop Ends in Fractured Arm | Tulsa News

Body cam footage from a tense August traffic stop in Coweta has gone viral after a 69-year-old man, James Rogers, suffered a fractured arm during the encounter. The incident began when officers spotted Rogers driving on the shoulder; despite being told to return to his car, he exited and approached the patrol vehicle. Officers responded by ordering him to place his hands on the car and called for backup. When Rogers continued advancing, the officer grabbed his arm — which led to a fall. Police say it was more of a trip and fall than an intentional slam, and Rogers was treated for his injury before being released without arrest. An administrative review is underway to examine use-of-force policies and how officers can better identify individuals with disabilities during stops — all while the involved officer remains on duty.
