Florida officer fired over dash cam video

PENSACOLA, FL (WKRG) -- Pensacola police have fired and arrested one of their own for battery.

The camera on his own patrol car reveals what Pensacola Police Officer Christopher Geraci did during a traffic stop in the 110th block of North C Street August 2, 2012.

The woman pulled over is hit and run suspect Abbi Bonds. Instead of obeying the office and sitting in her car, she argues with him while continuing to talk on a cell phone. But, when he walks over to arrest her, he grabbed her left arm and slammed her into the side of her car. He also grabbed the back of her head and slammed her again. Bonds repeatedly asked him why he hit her.

Geraci told the woman she was resisting arrest and acknowledged the camera on his patrol car was recording the whole thing. Gerarci tried to justify his actions to Bonds, but, the Pensacola police chief calls what he did shocking and disappointing.

Geraci is an eight year veteran with the police department.
