Troopers instead boxed in a stolen Toyota Highlander SUV that was driving erratically about 1 p.m. on westbound South Claiborne, a State Police spokesperson said. At the Toledano Street stoplight, one trooper pulled behind and another moved in front of the Highlander before turning on their lights, said Sgt. Kate Stegall.
“The violator chose to drive forward and backward multiple times, striking both of our units, the unit in the front and the unit in the back, multiple times,” Stegall said, describing the suspect's actions as "ping-ponging." Another police vehicle helped trap the car, which sported fraudulent temporary tags, according to State Police.
