LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — Police released dash camera footage of a June 2016 pursuit involving a 7-week-old baby and a career criminal.
Ronald T. Comeger, 34, fled from a traffic stop at speeds above 130 mph, Lancaster Online reported. Police said a 7-week-old baby was in the car along with the mother of the child.
Video shows Comeger weaving in and out of lanes before nearly hitting an officer and crashing. Comeger attempted to use the baby as a human shield before he was detained.
The baby sustained cuts to his head and the mother suffered cuts and bruises to her arms and legs.
In May, Comeger was found guilty of aggravated assault of a child, endangering a child, fleeing police and 14 counts of reckless endangerment. He also pleaded guilty to persuading the baby’s mother to not appear in court for the trial. He was sentenced to nine and a half to 19 years.
Assistant DA Christine L. Wilson said Comeger was a “career criminal” with convictions dating back to 2002. He has an estimated 22 probation or parole violations for those convictions.
