Police say the driver, a suspect in a purse snatching on Tuesday afternoon, steered the truck in the officer's direction behind the Boston Market on South College Avenue. That's when police say the officer fired his weapon.
The pickup driver kept going and was pursued into Maryland, where officers lost sight of the truck. It was later found crashed into a tree, but the driver was gone.
Police say they don't know if the driver was hit by the gunshot.
A second suspect was found in the Boston Market and taken into custody.
