A man driving a stolen box truck was arrested Monday night after ramming a Richmond police cruiser.
An officer on patrol saw a large box truck allegedly run a stop sign. Attempting to stop the truck, the officer discovered the truck was reported stolen.
The truck initially pulled over in the area of Esplanade and Schooner drives. Police said on their Facebook page that the driver then reversed into the officer’s patrol car, rammed it, and pushed it backward while the officer was trapped inside.
The driver of the truck then allegedly tried driving over the hood of the patrol vehicle but got lodged on the police car’s hood.
