A motorist who allegedly fled from a traffic check point nearly struck a group of police officers Saturday morning near the intersection of Dallis Street and Truitt Avenue.

No one was seriously injured in the incident.

According to a police report, one police officer’s hand was caught in the vehicle’s driver-side door and he had to “use his right hand to pull loose from the accelerating vehicle.”

As the motorist continued, several other police officers had to “move quickly out of the roadway to avoid being struck.” The driver continued north on Truitt Avenue toward South Greenwood Street. An officer pursued the motorist, and the chase ended at the intersection of Ashton and South Lewis streets.

Officers used a K9 to search for the suspect but were unable to locate any suspects. The officer whose hand was stuck in the driver-side door handle said the vehicle “brushed against his body and his body pack holder was torn from his duty belt.”

An incident report lists a 15 year old as being arrested in the incident.

Man wanted on battery charges

A Ridgefield Circle man is wanted for battery under the Family Violence Act after he allegedly struck his wife Sunday.

The victim reported the incident after flagging down a police officer in a fast food restaurant parking lot. She said she’d been sleeping at her home earlier when her husband came in the room and grabbed her by her hair before he pulled her out of bed and began punching her in the face, a police report stated.

The officer noted the woman had injuries to her face. After the incident, the woman went to a friend’s house where she planned to spend the night, according to the police report.

Officers went to the couple’s Ridgefield Circle home to look for the husband, but were unable to locate him.

Bullet pierces glass door

A woman at Mallard Lake apartment complex at 110 Old Airport Road told police she thought someone tried to break into her home Saturday.

Once police arrived, an officer looked around the woman’s residence and found a bullet hole in a sliding glass door. The woman said she’s heard a sound “like a broom falling” outside the night before, but was unaware of where the sound came from.

Four people were inside the apartment when the shot was fired — two of them juveniles — but no one was injured. The bullet was collected as evidence and the woman was given a victims’ rights pamphlet.
