Police said Ridder is an ex-con from Arkansas.

Sergeant Paul Madden said the tried to catch Ridder last week.

"We pursued the vehicle, the same vehicle about 10 days ago and he was able to get away from us that night. And then last night, one of my younger officers kicked up a pursuit with him, but we terminated the pursuit based on inclement weather and the driver's driving behavior," said Sgt. Madden.

Police said the car had a stolen tag on it, and the car was stolen.

Officers also found a sawed off shotgun and other items that might be stolen inside the vehicle.

The officer inside the vehicle was not hurt.
