A Louisiana man who allegedly ran over a police officer with his pickup truck reportedly bragged about it on Facebook.

Baton Rouge police detained 41-year-old Gad Black on Monday, accusing him of deliberately driving into a marked motorcycle operated by Sgt. Caleb Eisworth, whose age was unspecified. According to WAFB, a local CBS affiliate, Eisworth was heading home from work on Monday morning when Black, driving a pickup truck, allegedly struck him and dragged the officer 500 feet before leaving the scene.

Eisworth was critically injured and suffered from broken legs, a broken arm, and other injuries.

Based on an arrest report from WAFB, authorities soon located Black after the incident. Black reportedly resisted arrest, prompting police to use a taser to detain him.

While in custody, police said that Black — who has a history of arrests related to offenses against law enforcement — allegedly admitted to following Eisworth while in his vehicle.

Before his arrest, Black seemingly bragged about the crash in two posts on a Facebook account with his name. One post published at 12:23 p.m. on Monday read, “Just Stretched One On Joor Rd,” a quote that included the location of the crash. Minutes earlier, at 12:16 p.m., Black apparently wrote, “Check Him Out On Joor Rd. Stretched One.”

Another post at the same account, published at 12:19 p.m., alluded to the case of Rodney Hinton, who allegedly intentionally ran over a sheriff’s deputy in Ohio after his teenage son was shot and killed by a police officer.
