CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A Midstate man wanted on domestic assault and vandalism charges is accused of “deliberately” ramming a police car Tuesday night.

Clarksville Police were called to a home on Cleveland Drive in response to domestic assault allegations. Police say 36-year-old James Vasquez left the residence before officers arrived.

Later in the night, police say Vasquez returned to the area in a white pickup truck. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle but since children were trick-or-treating for Halloween, they did not engage in a pursuit.

“Officer Riley went to the residence to check on the victim and ensure her safety. Before Officer Riley exited his vehicle, Vasquez had doubled back and witnesses in the immediate area stated that the white Ford F-350 swerved to deliberately ram the officers’ patrol car from behind. Officer Riley was able to exit his vehicle and place Vasquez under arrest.”

The officer sustained minor injuries but the patrol car was a total loss.

Vasquez faces additional charges of aggravated assault on a first responder, reckless endangerment, evading arrest, driving under the influence, open container, simple possession, and unlawful drug paraphernalia.

H’s being held on a $94,000 bond.
