According to the Harrington Police Department, two officers were nearly hit by a vehicle fleeing at a high rate of speed from a traffic stop, and a patrol vehicle was struck and disabled in the Quality Suites parking lot on Corn Crib Road at approximately 9 a.m.

The fleeing vehicle eventually turned over into a ditch on Corn Crib Road, police said. Mr. Oneill, 41 at the time, was treated for nonlife threatening injuries at a hospital and released, according to Harrington Police.

A vehicle stop initially was made to investigate a vehicle with tinted windows traveling on South DuPont Highway, authorities said.

Indicted charges included two counts of first-degree reckless endangering, disregarding a police officer’s signal, operating a vehicle with improper window tint, criminal impersonation, criminal mischief, reckless driving, failure to have a registration card in possession, driving without a license, and resisting arrest.

Deputy Attorney General Greg Babowal signed the indictment for the state.
