Dramatic footage shows driver Stacy Ann Bunsey deliberately driving into police officer

Shocking footage has been released of a suspect deliberately ramming her vehicle into a police car, while an officer was still standing next to it.

The incident took place just after 12pm on Friday in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, when police were alerted to a stolen vehicle from a car company.

Police officers spotted the car shortly after, but the driver would not pull over and it resulted in a five-mile police chase that ended near a primary school.

When the suspect, identified as 41-year-old Stacy Ann Bunsey, tried to tu around and escape the scene, patrol officer Matt Stacy got out of his vehicle to try to set up a tire spike to stop the stolen car, according to ABC News.

 

The suspect, 41-year-old Stacy Ann Bunsey, is facing four felony counts

Deputy Chief Mike Carter said in a press release: ‘It was approximately three seconds after standing up outside his vehicle that the suspect rammed his patrol unit.

‘When the officer saw that the suspect was coming at him, he abandoned the plan to retrieve the tire spikes and instead drew his weapon, not knowing of the suspect’s intention to hurt or kill him.’

The clear footage from the police body-cam shows the direct moment of impact as well as Stacy firing at the vehicle as a defence.

Bunsey had to be tasered and removed from the vehicle and now faces four felony counts.

The officer suffered minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital after the incident.

These include including assaulting a police officer, eluding a police officer, driving under the influence and possession of a stolen vehicle, as well as a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest.
