A Two Rivers man is in custody after deliberately ramming into a squad car.
A deputy with the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office was on patrol on Sunday (November 8th) when they witnessed a vehicle speeding near County Highway B and State Highway 310.
A traffic stop was then initiated, with the deputy observing signs of impairment in the driver, 27-year-old Ryan Wallin of Two Rivers.
During the stop, Wallin put his SUV in reverse and accelerated rapidly, intentionally striking the deputy’s squad car before fleeing the scene at a high rate of speed.
A 2.1-mile pursuit then ensued before the 27-year-old pulled into a driveway on County Road O, where he was ultimately taken into custody.
Wallin has been charged with Second-Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, Fleeing or Eluding an Officer, Criminal Damage to Property, and Obstructing an Officer, while an OWI charge is pending.
Wallin was given a $1,000 cash bail yesterday (November 9th) and will return to court on Monday (November 16th).
A video of the incident captured by the Sheriff’s Office dash cams is available on the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.
