Police: Schuylkill Haven man steals truck, injures troopers
A Schuylkill Haven man is in prison after police say he rammed a door with a truck he stole and injured two state troopers.
On April 13, state police charged Daniel Bashore, 42, with felony aggravated assault, criminal attempt burglary theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and other offenses in Wayne Twp.
On that day, police said officers responded to the 1100 block of Long Run Road in Wayne Twp. after a man stole a 2005 Freightliner utility truck from 980 E. Main St. in North Manheim Twp.
The suspect had driven the truck to 1188 Longer Run Road, kicked the front door and damaged it, police said.
The resident at that address pointed a shotgun at the suspect, who fled, driving to 1176 Long Run Road and ramming the bay doors of the business, police said.
Troopers found the truck at 12 Green Tree Drive, West Brunswick Twp. and ordered the driver, Bashore, to get out, according to the police report.
Bashore resisted arrest so police used a Tazer multiple times to no avail, but troopers were eventually able to arrest him, according to the report. Both troopers sustained injuries, one to his right knee the other to both his hands, police said.
The defendant agreed to a blood draw, which was done at a local hospital after troopers suspected he was under the influence of a controlled substance, according to the report.
A preliminary hearing for Bashore is set for 9:45 a.m. May 13 in Magisterial District Judge Andrew Serina's courtoom, Orwigsburg.
Unable to post $75,000 straight cash bail, Bashore is in Schuylkill County Prison.
