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.

According to some of the other posts, his daddy is supposedly a rich lawyer.......that would certainly explain it, AND why he doesn’t look in the least concerned about any punishment for almost killing a LEO.

Another victim of Affluenza. That kid from Godly Tx. got probation after killing 4 when his well connected lawyer dreamed that up.
