Man charged with striking officers with vehicle

ADAMSVILLE, Ala. (AP) -- A 36-year-old Jefferson County man is jailed today on two counts of attempted murder of two Adamsville police officers.

According to Randy Christian, a sheriff's department spokesman, Stephen Michael McCullars of Wylam is accused of striking the two officers with a vehicle when he drove away during a traffic stop while being questioned.

The incident happened around midnight Sunday on U.S. 78 in Adamsville.

Christian said both officers suffered broken arms and abrasions and were treated and released from U-A-B Hospital.

He said around 6:30 Sunday morning deputies found McCullars hiding in an abandoned mobile home and took him into custody.

He's in the Jefferson County Jail under a 60,000 dollar bond.

OK, how do two police officers suffer broken arms when someone drives off during a traffic stop? Were they laying down in front of the vehicle with an arm each under the tires? Did they each jump in front of the vehicle as it was driving away and stick their arms out in front of the grill in hopes of stopping it? I mean really...how does that happen? Not saying it isn't possible....just can't quite picture it.

Generally, when a suspect tries to strike an officer with a vehicle they are blown to smithereens like these two guys in Huntsville on Sunday. Maybe the fact that these cops in Adamsville didn't get a shot off and kill the guy caused them to break their own arms to avoid being humiliated by their brothers in blue? "Our arms were broken Sarge...we couldn't shoot!"
