A Trempealeau County man is accused of hitting a state trooper with his car.
Wisconsin State Patrol says troopers responded to reports of a man yelling at people in Arcadia yesterday afternoon. When they arrived, 47-year-old Michael Peterson was in his car. Officers say he didn’t comply with officer demands, and tried to drive away from the area. That’s when he hit a trooper. The 100-mile-an-hour police chase ended when Peterson crashed into a power pole in Centerville. He was taken to the hospital for treatment before being transported to the Trempealeau County Jail. The trooper drove himself to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.
