As News Center 7 previously reported, an individual contacted Columbus police on Feb. 7 to alert them that they saw their vehicle which had been previously stolen. When officers found the car, they tried to stop it but were unsuccessful.

They followed the car for a short time before disengaging. Around 30 minutes later, police spotted the car in the parking lot of a Sheetz gas station.

After the car was spotted the second time, the plan was to deploy stop sticks to keep the car from driving off, but the car turned into a shopping center and started driving erratically.

Police blocked off all the exits of the shopping center and then the car began backing up before abruptly accelerating forward and hitting a police sergeant.
