BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — Police are searching for a 32-year-old man who they say twice struck his mother with an SUV in an attempt to evade an officer.
A Bellevue police spokeswoman says an officer on Saturday afternoon spoke briefly with Anthony M. Flud’s mother outside a home.
Flud was sought on felony arrest warrants after being charged in late December with operating a vehicle to avoid arrest and felony theft.
The spokesman says that while the officer and the mother were talking, Flud was inside a vehicle and hit his mother in the driveway. Flud struck his mother a second time and the officer’s patrol car before driving away.
Police followed Flud’s vehicle but called it off for safety reasons.
Flud’s mother was taken to a hospital for treatment.
