YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — A 43-year-old man accused of running over two Yakima police officers last week has been charged with first-degree assault. Salvador Muñoz-Gonzalez also faces stolen motor vehicle and eluding charges in connection with the Jan. 5 incident. Police were investigating reports of a stolen truck and found the vehicle in a parking lot with Muñoz-Gonzalez in the driver’s seat. Officers ordered the men to get out, but Muñoz-Gonzalez sped off, striking the side of a patrol vehicle and running over Sgts. Mike Henne and Mark Grow, who suffered broken legs. The suspect was captured after a high-speed chase.
