Former High School Varsity Wrestler Drives into Cops while High

A Massachusetts teen drove into two police officers this week while high on marijuana and mushrooms. The teen, a former high school varsity wrestler, faces serious legal consequences for the incident. He has been charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence, attempted murder, two counts of assault and battery on a police officer, and two accounts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

The officers encountered the teen on a rural route at 2:30 a.m. while they were investigating a separate traffic accident. The officers saw the teen's car approach them; it stopped just a few feet away and then suddenly accelerated right toward them. One officer was thrown onto the hood and suffered serious injury to an arm. The officers tried to get the teen to stop the car but he wouldn't. The teen then apparently tried to run down the other officer, knocking him into the air. The second officer also suffered an injury.

The teen then left the scene of the crime, driving slowly but erratically. He was apprehended shortly thereafter and was determined to be intoxicated (to the point of stupor) with marijuana and mushrooms.
