The police are looking for the man who dragged an officer hundreds of meters with his car on January 27. That happened when the police wanted to arrest him in Zaandam for identity fraud. He is suspected of attempted murder of the officer.
The officer was hit in the face that evening and dragged over 300 meters at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour.
Investigation Requested paid attention to the case last night. “Does anyone know where the British Jaimy Patrick Bailey is?” Asks presenter Anniko van Santen. It is a 37-year-old man from Great Britain. He previously gave the false name Jamie Francis Vaughan. According to the police, it is possible that he uses more false names or has changed something about his appearance.
The man was already arrested on January 24, when he was caught driving under the influence. He showed a passport, but after investigating, the police discovered that it was a counterfeit copy. Because the suspect had already been sent home by then, the police could not handcuff him at that time.
On Friday evening, January 27, officers see the man driving again. They ask him to stop and he does. “The officers informed the man that he was arrested in connection with the use of a forged passport,” the police writes on its website.

The man asks the officers if he can take his phone out of the car. They agree, but instead of reaching for his phone, he starts the car and drives off. One of the officers grabs hold of the suspect, but he continues to accelerate, drags the officer along and hits him.
“The policeman did not dare to let go for fear of getting under the wheels of the speeding car,” the police write. Earlier, a police spokesman said that the circumstances are going well with the officer, who suffered scratches and bruises. He went back to work the next day. The car the man was driving was later found and seized by police.
