Joshua Grimes was a “desperate man” when he tried to run down a state trooper during a police chase in Cumberland County in November, a prosecutor said as Grimes’ trial began in county court today.
Grimes, 27, of Lower Frankford Township, was shot as he backed his Ford Explorer toward the trooper, who had forced Grimes’ vehicle off the road, Chief Deputy District Attorney Michelle Sibert told the jury. She said that Grimes, who faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault, deliberately endangered the officer.
*Defense Attorney Tim Barrouk said Grimes didn’t know the officer was back there. The aggravated assault charge is baseless because Grimes wasn’t trying to hurt anyone and just wanted to flee, Barrouk said.*
The 10-minute chase, which hit speeds of 90 mph, began when Grimes fled a drunken driving stop, police said.
Grimes spent more than a month in Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center after being shot.
