He missed it by inches, and when I caught up to him he took off again and run some other vehicles off the road. He got right at the Kermit Bridge, there was two Mingo County deputies. He went around them almost striking them and impacted the bridge about seventy miles per hour. He jumped out of the vehicle, and took off running across the Kermit Bridge, I got out, got my K-9 Grimm out. I told him to stop again or I’d release the dog, and he stopped then and gave up and walked back to us”
