Here’s what we know; Officers with the WSPD were conducting surveillance on the morning of May 29, in the 400 block of Beaumont Street for a wanted suspect. Once the subject was located and identified officers attempted to take him into custody. At that time the suspect entered a white Dodge Charger and intentionally rammed a police vehicle and a pursuit began.
