Officers Injured When Suspect Rams Patrol Car

(Portland, OR) -- Two Portland Police officers are recovering from minor injuries after a suspect allegedly crashed into their patrol car while trying to elude them. It happened early yesterday morning after officers responded to reports of a man passed out in a truck with the engine running. Police saw a gun in the center console. Officers put spike strips under the wheels and used sirens and loud speakers in an attempt to wake the man. Police say it took several attempts until the man finally awoke and drove away with deflated tires, eventually crashing into a patrol car at Southeast 119th and Powell. Police arrested 42-year-old Jeremiah Prueitt on ten charges.
