Just after 1:30 a.m., Middlesex OPP officers stopped a white 2002 GMC Sierra pickup truck on Ilderton Road in Ilderton. The driver initially stopped and spoke with police then sped away, dragging one of the offi- cers. The officer was able to free himself and return to his cruiser, pursuing the pickup. Two additional cruisers arrived and conducted a rolling block to stop the pickup. The pickup attempted to flee again, ramming the cruisers. Officers shot at the tires of the pickup truck to prevent serious injury to themselves. The driver attempted to grab a knife from his vehicle and was restrained by police.
