LONOKE, AR - Lonoke County deputies are looking for a man they say rammed a patrol car during a chase in a stolen truck.
According to Lt. James Kulesa, an investigator spotted a truck behind a residence on Bowen Road in Lonoke that had been stolen in Cabot several days earlier. Lt. Kulesa says deputies watched the residence until 26-year-old Charles B. Seigrist left in the truck.
When Seigrist would not pull over, deputies say they attempted a "rolling road block" but Seigrist rammed a patrol car to get away. The deputy was not injured.
