The deputy identified the driver as Sean McMillan, age 31 of Fort Dodge, Iowa. The deputy determined
McMillan was driving while barred, was in possession of a handgun as a felon, and was a suspect in the disturbance call. McMillan was placed under arrest, handcuffed, and placed in the front seat of the squad car. While the deputy was dealing with the passenger in the vehicle, McMillan jumped the console of the squad car, drove at and hit the deputy. The officer fired one round at McMillan.
McMillan abandoned the deputy’s vehicle a short distance later and fled on foot. McMillan was later arrested at 309 S. Cadwell in Eagle Grove, Iowa without incident. McMillan has since been charged with Escape from Custody, a class D felony.
The deputy was transported to the hospital where he was treated and released.
