An Amherst County man is behind bars after ramming his vehicle into a Nelson County sheriff’s cruiser.

The Nelson County Sheriff’s Office said that a Saturday night traffic stop turned dangerous when a black Hyundai rammed into a deputy’s vehicle after the officer tried to pull it over just before 10-30. The vehicle, which was reported stolen from Lynchburg, then crashed around four minutes later after leading deputies on a pursuit.

 

The driver, 39-year-old Thomas Wayne Board Junior, is facing 10 charges following the incident, including attempted second-degree murder and felony hit-and-run. He was also booked on two outstanding warrants from Campbell County.
