Authorities are searching for the driver of a Dodge Charger who rammed a state police vehicle during a traffic stop on Tuesday night and fled the scene, first in his car and then on foot.
The incident began between 9 and 9:30 p.m. in the area of the Circle K on John Wayne Parkway and Bowlin Road, according to Bart Graves, media relations specialist with Arizona Department of Public Safety. A state trooper tried to make a traffic stop on a car, but the driver did not yield, intentionally ramming a DPS patrol vehicle before fleeing the scene.
