Video shows officer being dragged by a drunk driver.(alleged)

Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody posted a video to Twitter on Wednesday that showed one of his deputies being dragged by a drunk driver.

The officer was forced to jump in the vehicle to call for backup and prevent herself from being killed. Sheriff Chody has praised the officer for showing "great restraint" and not using deadly force where he felt it may have been acceptable.

A highly intoxicated driver in possession of harmless marijuana & harmless cough syrup (sarcasm) nearly killed one of my deputies. WilCo Sheriffs deputies showed great restraint when deadly force could've been used therefore it wont make national news. Deputy is ok, thank God! pic.twitter.com/Rw1I1aYVAW
