Sgt. Moffitt said Emmett initiated the pursuit after he caught Conover speeding nearly two times over the legal limit. However, when the cop managed to the fleeing suspect, their interaction turned violent. 
‘While Officer Emmett exited his vehicle, he moved around to the rear of his cruiser, and you, Mr. Conover, then backed his vehicle rapidly, pointed it directly at Officer Emmett, and accelerated at him, striking him at a reasonably high rate of speed,’ Moffitt said in court. 
‘We’re very fortunate that an amateur drone operator was in the air when he saw the interaction and was able to capture it on video.’
