Man running from cops collides with cruiser
TweetAt the hospital, X-rays showed no injury, police said.
STAFF REPORT
YOUNGSTOWN — Dyonn L. Perry had 10 bags of marijuana under his shirt when he darted in front of and was struck by an unmarked cruiser traveling 5 mph, police said.
To avoid a traffic stop, Perry, 26, of Tod Lane jumped out of the Ford Explorer he was driving Sunday morning and ran through yards at Rockford Village on the East Side, police said. Detective Sgt. Kevin Mercer followed Perry on foot while Patrolman Patrick Mulligan, in the unmarked cruiser, attempted to get ahead of him by traveling south on Cedar Lane, where Perry ran in front of the vehicle and was hit. Reports show Mulligan had slowed to 5 mph and attempted to stop when Perry darted but the car slid on loose gravel.
Perry was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center, where X-rays and a CAT scan revealed no injuries, reports show.
Perry was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, driving under suspension and resisting arrest. Police said he had 10 large bags of marijuana under his shirt. He was also cited for failure to signal a turn, the reason for the attempted traffic stop that led to the police pursuit. At the hospital, two more bags of marijuana were found, police said.
Reports show Perry was driving with four open suspensions on his license.
A woman who came out of her Cedar Lane apartment while police were dealing with Perry was charged with obstructing official business. Police said 25-year-old Tracy Beverly yelled profanities at them, which caused a crowd to gather, and continued to be disruptive after being told be quiet and leave.
Court records show Beverly was convicted of theft last month in Boardman, given six months in jail, all suspended, and placed on one year’s probation.
Comments
At 5 mph the criminal was probably moving faster than the crusier.
10 bags of weed must have cushioned the impact.
And while they are at it, why not try to jam the other criminal who likes yelling at the cops? She needs to have her probation violated for making a bad situation more dangerous. Maybe she needs the peace and order found behind bars to keep herself calm.
They should just declare open season on all of these scumbags and rid the world of them for good. They serve absolutely no purpose in this world other that to be parasitic leeches and sponge off the welfare system.
And of course the good guys will eat the bill for his ER visit, X-rays & CT scan. And of course the average law-abiding citizen can't afford medical care for himself. What a world.....
I think it was a case of police profiling! I think the police made up the part about no turn signal. Mr. Dyonn (where the hell do they come up with these names) was trying to deliver some much need medical marijuana when he was unduly accosted by the police. I say all this(tongue in cheek)but I wonder how many of the local ambulance chasers were looking at this and trying to find some way to justify a illegal seizure suit?
