DeLand, Florida — DeLand Police Officer James Harris was fired from his job after he accidentally ran over Marlon Robert Brown as he was fleeing from officers. FHP spokesperson Sgt. Kim Montes says 38-year old Marlon Robert Brown “failed to stop” for a Volusia County deputy who attempted to pull him over for a seat belt violation on Green Avenue at Parsons Avenue at 12:36 Monday morning. The Volusia County deputy then backed off and radioed dispatch to alert officers in DeLand that the driver was in their area.

Marlon Brown fled from his car on foot after officers tried to pull him over.  As officers were pursuing Brown, he slipped and fell in front of the officer’s patrol car, causing the officer to run over him.
Brown led multiple officers on a chase, however it was Officer James Harris that went around other officers, running Brown over with his patrol car. Officer Harris was fired for violating department policy involving a pursuit, according to officials.

Marlon Brown was a known felon in the area.

The family of Marlon Brown has hired Benjamin Crump, the no name attorney that recently made a name for himself during the Trayvon Martin case.

Benjamin Crump says the officer should have been charged with vehicular homicide. A grand Jury refused to press charges against Officer James Harris earlier this month, citing the video did not show cause for charges to be filed, because the video clearly shows Marlon Brown falling in front of the vehicle.

Crump said during a press conference, “Marlon Brown was executed in a vegetable garden.”

This case has created outrage from both sides, however many wonder how an officer is supposed to peruse felons if they are going to get fired, and then the city get sued every time an accident happens while an officer is performing his duties.

Resident Tyrece Jackson said, “The officer was doing his job, everybody knows you don’t run from the cops unless you did something wrong and have a reason to run. You don’t just run because you weren’t wearing a seat-belt.”

Marlon Brown had been arrested more than a dozen times. Brown has had 18 misdemeanor charges, five felony charges, and three felony convictions.
