Richardson developed PTSD from the incident and ultimately never returned [music] to duty. The suspect was identified as James Michael Scurvan. Scurvan would go on to survive the incident [music] as well. He was shot multiple times, pulled from the wreckage, and given CPR by officers until medics [music] arrived and transported him to the hospital. Scurvan was charged with a long list of offenses, including multiple counts of felonious assault on peace officers, [music] aggravated menacing, vehicular assault, failure to comply, discharging a firearm near prohibited premises, improper handling of a firearm, aggravated [music] possession of drugs, and the original felonious assault and domestic violence charges for attacking his daughter.
