A STOLEN pickup rammed a patrol car, pinning a garda by the leg between the two vehicles as he got out to arrest the driver, it is alleged. Trevor Brown (40) is accused of the “opportunistic” taking of the road management vehicle before damaging the garda car in an attempt to evade arrest. The patrol car pulled up next to the pickup to deter it from moving off and a garda got out. The driver reversed the pickup and rammed into the passenger side of the garda car before attempting to flee. The garda’s leg was pinned by the vehicle and the driver tried to make good his escape, it was alleged.
