SAN ANTONIO — A man was arrested after slamming into a patrol car, slipping out of his handcuffs and leading police on a pursuit over the weekend.
The incident first occurred when suspect Reynaldo Ruiz, 47, rear-ended an officer’s patrol car at a stop sign, News4SA.com reported. Ruiz allegedly rammed the patrol car head-on after the officer followed him. He was eventually pulled over and placed in the back seat of a patrol car, where he slipped out of his handcuffs and jumped into the front seat of the cruiser, according to police.
Ruiz then led officers on a pursuit that spanned several cities. Along the way, he tried to run over a police officer before crashing with another patrol car. He was arrested again and charged with aggravated assault on a peace officer with a deadly weapon and felony escape, according to the report.
Police said Ruiz, who was high on methamphetamine, later confessed to trying to intentionally hit as many officers as he could.
