A Fort Worth police patrol officer last week evaded Keller officers trying to detain him while he was in a vehicle, according to the suburban city’s police department.

Nathaniel Johnson, 27, on Thursday turned himself in on an arrest warrant. He was arrested on suspicion of evading arrest or detention with a vehicle.

Fort Worth commanders placed Johnson on restricted duty for the duration of the incomplete criminal and Internal Affairs Unit administrative investigations, according to a department spokesperson.

Keller police did not immediately publicly release the arrest warrant affidavit or describe the basis for intending to detain or arrest Johnson.

Fort Worth police plan an investigation to collect and review the facts and the circumstances of the case.

Johnson has been employed by the Fort Worth department since 2021.
