TAMPA, Fla. -- A Hillsborough County deputy has been suspended after he arrested a woman who was speeding to the emergency room to check on her father.

Deputy Kevin Stabins, 29, pulled over Melissa Langston, 37, for speeding as she was pulling into the University Community Hospital parking lot in November.

Footage from the cruiser's dashboard camera shows Langston telling the deputy that her father had suffered a heart attack. Stabins took her license and registration and returned to his car to write a ticket.

But after several minutes, Langston took off and drove into the parking lot. After a short pursuit, Stabins pulled Langston out of her car and handcuffed her against the trunk.

"I think (Stabins) understands that he was wrong and could have handled it better," Sheriff David Gee told The Tampa Tribune. "On both sides, really, it could have been done better."

Stabins told investigators he didn't believe Langston because she drove past the emergency room entrance before pulling over.

When asked by investigators if he could have removed Langston from her car without grabbing and pulling her, Stabins said, "I could have taken her down at gunpoint for a felony."

The Sheriff's Office has dropped all charges against Langston, who was clocked going 63 mph in a 35-mph zone.

The disciplinary investigation found that Stabins had used excessive force and wrongly impounded Langston's car after the arrest. He was suspended for five days without pay.
