They say the driver took off, but they caught up with him at the dead end of George B Place.
Deputies say when they got out of their patrol car, the driver accelerated— hitting the patrol car door and pushing it against a deputy, which caused minor injuries.
From there, deputies say they driver sped off into heavy traffic, and they couldn’t find him.
