Pineville Police reforming several policies after woman jumps out of patrol car: Wednesday, Nov. 30

The Pineville Police Department announced it has finished its internal investigation of the July 2022 severe injury of a woman that was in its custody. Now, the department is reforming several of its policies.

In the early hours of July 17, 28-year-old Morgan Johnson managed to escape from a moving police car while traveling on I-485.

Pineville Police reported that Johnson was able to uncuff one of her hands and open the passenger-side rear window. When the officer realized what was happening, she was already hanging halfway out of the window.
