The video then shows another vehicle slowly rolling toward the woman and the officer. 

The cop sees the car coming and dives out of the way. The cruiser then rolls over the woman and pins her underneath it. 

State police reviewed the incident and ‘handled it internally.’ Charges against Howard were dropped in this case because he was found incompetent to stand trial.

In 2015, Howard was shot in the head by a man who spot him breaking into his car, according to a criminal complaint.

He was hospitalized for 10 days, and then a month later attempted to break into a bait car left by police.
