SALEM, Mo. -- A man from Salem is in jail after law officers say he intentionally rammed his pickup into a state trooper's car. That crash banged the patrol car into a Dent County Sheriff's Department car.
Sheriff Bob Wofford says Allen Gott, 57, was on
probation for a similar offense at the Salem Police Department this year. He's in jail on a suspected probation violation until a prosecutor can charge him for the crash on Monday afternoon. Wofford says the state trooper was in court at the time. Salem police officers arrested Gott at a motel not long after the ramming.
A Dent County Sheriff's Department surveillance
camera caught the crash on tape. To see that video, click here on the video link above.
