Back in June, Ramberg pulled over a Mercedes sedan in the 5200 block of Park Heights Avenue. The driver, Joseph Daniel Black, initially stopped and gave his license but refused to get out of the car when ordered to do so.
At the time, police said Black had a gun inside the car. In Black's attempt to escape, the sergeant was dragged two blocks, still hanging onto the car door.

In a statement, BPD said, “We continue to keep him and his family lifted in prayer during his long road to recovery.”
