Joseph Harris has been fired from the Jonesboro , Arkansas , police chief says.
He was caught on video elbowing and punching Billy Lee Coram in the back of a patrol car.
Coram was being treated at a hospital for allegedly having ingested fentanyl when he escaped.
He then wrapped a seatbelt around his neck while the car was moving to try to choke himself, police say.
Mayor Harold Copenhaver said he watched the video and is “appalled” by it because Harris ’ actions are “inexcusable” Chief Elliott said he had suspended Harris in 2022 for using excessive force.
