The person accused of running over and dragging a Statham police officer with her vehicle has been arrested.

The hit-and-run happened Saturday afternoon in Barrow County, Georgia. Police announced the arrest of Jessica Fox, 28, Tuesday morning.

According to Statham police, the officer remained hospitalized with serious injuries.

Officer Lofton is resting as much as he can. He will undergo an MRI hopefully in the next few days. We are all overwhelmed with the prayers and good wishes sent by all for his speedy recovery, Statham Police Chief Allan Johnston posted on Facebook.
