Rangers said a man impatient to enter Crowders Mountain State Park in Gaston County, NC, dragged a park ranger with his car Sunday.

As a ranger was talking to him, John Bolin drove away with the ranger holding onto the vehicle door handle, dragging him for 30 feet, reports WSOC-TV.

Gastonia police later stopped Bolin, who was driving with a car full of people. Bolin was charged with using the car as a deadly weapon and possession of marijuana.

The ranger needed medical attention.
