Traffic Stop In 2024

The driver, 21-year-old Oumar Janneh, is accused of ramming his car into the driver's side door of the Trooper's car to escape. The officer suffered minor non-life-threatening injuries.

Janney was finally caught and arrested this past Saturday, after what's described as "eight months of diligent work."
