"He approached two people at Pete's Place which is that club they were at, and he identified himself as a narcotics detective and he displayed to them what appeared to be a firearm. They ran for safety reasons and called 9-1-1," said Lt. Donny Peters of Tampa Police.

Peters said he pointed that gun at one of the men, Dennis Zuilkowski, who happens to be a recent police academy graduate, and struck him on the back of the head.

Officers pursued Harris after he fled the scene, police said, and found him on the roof of a building at 4203 Henderson Boulevard.

As he was led to a waiting squad car outside Tampa Police Headquarters Saturday afternoon, Harris, at first, kept his head down and avoid contact with the media waiting outside.

But suddenly, he opened up.

"I didn't rape that young lady. It has to do with a sexual battery in '99 where I was acquitted and now they're trying to do the same thing. Look at the records in Volusia County." Harris told reporters. "I was found not guilty by jury trial and now they're trying to pin another rape on me. I didn't rape anybody."
