He refused when officers tried to stop him and continued East until he was boxed in by two patrol cars. He still refused to stop and struck both.

Davis was charged with two counts of assault with the intent to injur a law enforcement officer, OWI, possession of marijuana, open container, edlucing, driving without a valid license and multiple traffic violations.
