Newly-released body camera video of a deadly shooting by a Canton police officer last week shows it took less than 36 seconds for a response to a call about a neighborhood disturbance to turn deadly.
Police records show Officer Jacob Dryden and his partner were dispatched to a report of neighbors fighting around 10:15 p.m. last Wednesday night.
As officers arrived outside the home in the 300 block of 25th Street Southwest, video shows 41-year-old Jeffrey Neff take off running.Dryden and his partner chase Neff through a backyard, over a fence and across an interstate entrance ramp.Dryden chases Neff into a grassy area. As the officer rounds a couple of trees, what sounds like a gunshot is heard on the video.“Shots fired, shots fired, suspect down,” Dryden tells dispatchers. “Get me everybody now!”“I’m not bleeding, bro,” said Dryden.
“This incident illustrates the dangers faced too frequently by police officers,” said Canton Police Chief John Gabbard in a statement. “Regardless of the circumstances, any loss of life is tragic, and I am prayerful that Mr. Neff’s family will find peace.”After the incident, Officer Dryden was immediately placed on paid administrative leave. On Monday, June 12th, he began a combination of Administrative Leave/Administrative Duty while the investigation continues.
A spokesman said the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation continues its investigation into the shooting. RELATED: Police: Canton officers shoot and kill 41-year-old man after being fired at while responding to 'disturbance'
