This is from Officer Aaron Pettis' report of the incident: On March 19, he was on patrol in a marked vehicle travelling northbound on Northcrest Drive. He stopped at a red light at the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Northcrest Drive. Officer Pettis noticed a white sedan travelling southbound occupied by David Cardy and an unknown passenger. Cardy drove through the red light. Officer Pettis followed the sedan to make a traffic enforcement stop. Pursuit ensued and Cardy drove in excess of 100 mph. The passenger leaned out and pointed an object at Officer Pettis which looked like a firearm. Then there was muzzle flash. Officer Pettis followed the sedan and eventaully, the occupants jumped out and fled. There was a shotgun and shell casings found in the sedan. A passerby said that he had seen the passenger carrying a rifle. Cardy was arrested later that day.
