Timothy Sadberry, 27, who police say was angered by the way in which
the officers had questioned him, he got back in his car turned it around
and headed right for them hitting both of the motorcycle cops and one
pedestrian sending them to the hospital. July 17, 1979.
So instead of Timothy Sadberry just going on his way and being a
little pissed off, now he's going to jail for assault and attempted murder
on a police officer.
