Bodycam: Tulsa, OK, Man Resists Arrest after Intentionally Striking Firefighter Twice

A Tulsa man resisted arrest after intentionally striking a firefighter with his vehicle twice.

While attempting to extinguish a house fire on Labor Day, a Tullahassee firefighter was hit by a vehicle and knocked to the ground. But, he got back up and got back to work.

Abram Sprenger, of Tulsa, then drove around the house and circled back around, striking the firefighter a second time, again knocking him down, according to KTUL.

Other firefighters were hiding behind a fire truck when Sprenger backed his vehicle into it.

When he refused to comply with Wagoner sheriff's deputies' orders to exit his vehicle, officers broke the driver's window and physically extricated him. He resisted, but was placed in handcuffs.

But, it wasn't over.

On the way to the detention center, he managed to free is legs and kicked the deputy on the right side of his head. Using his feet, he also attempted to cause the officer to lose control of the cruiser.

He was later placed in leg shackles and a waist chain for the remainder of the trip.

Deputies found a drug pipe and white powdery residue in his pocket.

Sprenger is facing charges of aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, impeding the progress of firefighters, obstructing a peace officer, resisting arrest, possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of paraphernalia, and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Bail was set at $100,000.
