A New Orleans man is accused of trying to kill a Slidell police officer Wednesday (Feb. 21) by running over him with a stolen U-Haul truck. Ricky Cooper, 32, was booked with attempted murder of a peace officer, resisting an officer and possession of a stolen vehicle, the Slidell Police Department reported.
Aliyah Sharrieff, 19, a passenger in the truck with Cooper, was booked with resisting an officer and possession of a stolen vehicle. The officer, who fired two shots at the U-Haul in an attempt to stop the vehicle, has been placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of the investigation, the police department said.
The incident unfolded shortly before 5 p.m. when a Slidell Police officer tried to stop the U-Haul - which had been reported stolen by the New Orleans Police Department - at the Murphy Oil station at 39100 Natchez Drive. As the officer was ordering the occupants out of the cab of the truck, Sharrieff exited the passenger side and Cooper drove off, police said.
Cooper then circled around the parking lot of the station and accelerated back towards the officer in an attempt to run him over, police said. Fearing his life, the officer fired two rounds into the front of the truck.

We should have laws that call for his execution.
I’d feel better if that filthy scumbag assumed room temperature.
Looks like he accidentally fell and hit the officer’s night stick with his face.
I have long believed that capital punishment should be on the table for any crime which the victim would have been justified in resisting with lethal force.
In such cases, it is the criminal who has placed the value of his life below that of the fruits of the crime. That is not to say it should be sought or applied in all such cases as every case must be weighed on its own merits, but it should at least be available if circumstances warrant it.

Very reasonable.
With the way inflation is going, you’re liable to be Joe One-Can pretty soon. Who can afford a six pack?
C’mon Ricky baby, smile for us! Those big bad Poh-lice men didn’t tune ya up that bad!
I remember when Slidell was just a hick town. I couldn’t believe how it looked almost like New Orleans several years ago.
Slidell is often part of Luve PD! They seem to have good LEOs
Since they show bits recorded during the week, maybe, they will air it!
He had turned his life around and he was in a hurry because he was just an little late for his Tensor Calculus class...
He fell down a couple times...
I can tell you what happen with one word. Katrina.
They are a bit over zealous at times but it keeps the crime down and the rif raf in check.
He was in a hurry because U-Haul was
going to charge him for another day
of rental fees...//sarc
If you set his bail at his IQ, I guess he could afford a buck.
