A Florissant Police detective was injured after being dragged by a suspect’s vehicle during an attempted arrest at a gas station in St. Louis County on Monday. The incident occurred just before 3:30 p.m. at a Vinita Park gas station located in the 8400 block of Page Avenue. According to police reports, detectives from the Florissant Police Department were attempting to apprehend a suspect who was already wanted for felony drug and weapon charges.
