21-Year-Old Driver Mows Down Cops with Mercedes G-Wagon During ‘Routine’ Traffic Stop — Officer Forced to Open Fire

A 21-year-old entitled brat from Pennsylvania is behind bars after a violent rampage that left two police officers hospitalized, one of whom underwent emergency surgery, during what began as a routine traffic stop.

Authorities say Dalton Lee Janiczek, of Lower Gwynedd, intentionally used his luxury Mercedes G-Wagon as a weapon, ramming multiple police cars and striking one officer several times before being shot and apprehended.

According to Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele and Plymouth Township Police Chief John Myrsiades, the incident began around noon Friday when a Whitpain Township sergeant attempted to stop Janiczek’s vehicle after reports of reckless driving.

The driver refused to comply and fled, weaving through traffic and jumping a median on Skippack Pike.

Roughly 45 minutes later, another officer located the Mercedes in a DoubleTree Hotel parking lot. But when the officer approached, Janiczek allegedly slammed his car in reverse, crashing repeatedly into the police cruiser.

Despite verbal commands to stop, Janiczek suddenly accelerated toward the officer, forcing the officer to open fire in self-defense.

Sounds like he should pass away due to Arkancide.

Cops will be ok on this one. He’s just a white guy after all. Totally different than shooting Deshaun or Deminu.

Too bad coppers did not have an 870 or 223 ready to go.

What he looks like is, ‘I’m not worried my connected lawyer daddy will bail my ass out again’. I hope he gets the hard time he deservers, and then gets the hard time he deserves in prison.

Why doesn’t anyone care about fixing their hair anymore?
Seems the new style (for the past decade?) is the get out of bed look.

The surviving cops should have permanently ‘removed the threat’ when they had a chance, surely they could have reloaded?

Hopefully he gets a “Tradjudge”™, who ships him off for 20-25 years.

The messy hair look is done by police doing a “hair search”, and not allowing them to straighten it prior to mugshot.

This serves the purpose of making them look the part of a perp, for the jury and the media.
