Police arrested an Oakland man on Monday after he went on a several-week-long crime spree across the Bay Area, during which he reportedly assaulted a San Rafael police officer, according to police officials.
Officers caught James Henry Flournoy, 44, in San Pablo while trying to locate a stolen vehicle in that city. Flournoy was wanted by the San Rafael Police Department in connection with an incident earlier this month in which an officer attempted to stop a suspected car thief and was rammed by the stolen vehicle.
Hours later, officers located the vehicle at the San Rafael Yacht Club. Flournoy was behind the wheel, police said. As the officer gave commands to the driver, the SUV suddenly reversed and pinned the officer to the driver's door of his police car. Police said the Flournoy rammed another police car, then drove to the back of the parking lot before coming back towards the officers at what was described as a"high rate of speed." The suspect then drove back towards the injured officer, who was limping at the time.
The injured officer was taken to the hospital and was released a short time later. He was expected to make a full recovery.
