Officer Lowry observed slurred speech, the smell of alcohol, and an open container near the passenger side. Lowry later speculated the driver may have attempted to throw the can out the window and into the river prior to the stop. What he observed next prompted immediate action. >> Okay, put your hands up.

Thanks guys. Thank you so much. Thank you. >> The pursuit lasted 38 minutes total with Chief Helmick leading for 22 minutes. That 22 minutes covered almost 33 m, averaging speeds of nearly 90 mph despite a maximum speed limit of 55. Helm was hospitalized for 19 days. From his hospital bed, he wrote the public release report himself. About 4 and 1/2 months later, Chief Helmick spoke about the incident with the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police. >> The suspect did shoot me two times. once in the abdomen and then once in the upper left thigh which fractured my femur. The round went through my iPhone that was in my pocket as it exited and so also caused a third degree burn. The suspect was subdued uh by the other three officers that were on scene and taken into custody. Place the tourniquet on my leg which was is the worst pain I've ever had in my life. It was worse than getting shot and that really did save my life. I had lost over a quarter of my blood. >> Helmet was medically airlifted and not for the first time. In 2018, he was airlifted after a deer went through his windshield at 90 miles per hour during a pursuit. >> I really have to give credit to the whole medical team. They really took excellent care of me. And I wouldn't have even gotten that far had it not been for the other officers on scene, ambulance service, as well as dispatchers. Everybody kind of really came together. Trust your instincts and trust your training. Don't panic. Keep the the best level head that that you can. >> He was cleared to return to patrol duty over a year after the incident. a little bit of similar history and sexual burgly tools. >> The 29-year-old suspect, Daniel Bowen Payne, was held in Skyler County Jail on a $1 million bond. Prosecutors approved pursuing one count of attempted first-degree murder of a police officer. Daniel's attorney requested a court change due to potential local bias and sought to suppress evidence, claiming he was unlawfully detained after fleeing due to an officer drawing a weapon. The defense also moved to exclude a post incident interview, arguing Daniel was impaired by a concussion and Xanax administered by medical staff, and that he was denied an attorney. The judge ruled Daniel's statement about not being able to afford an attorney during the interrogation was not a clear request for one. They also noted he was read his rights and signed a waiver. The judge denied all the defense's motions. Over 2 and 1/2 years later, Daniel accepted a plea deal and was found guilty on an amended charge of aggravated discharge of a firearm at a police officer. He was sentenced to 28 1/2 years in prison with court costs waved for time served. Under Illinois truth and sentencing laws, he must serve at least 85% of his sentence, about 24 years and 3 months, making him eligible for release in December 2048 at nearly 55 years Old
