Clearwater Police Chief Kirk Ives said Wellington police had initiated the pursuit of a stolen vehicle. It was called off and Conway Springs police resumed the chase, which ended just southeast of Clearwater at around 3 p.m.

Chief Ives said one of his officers deployed stop sticks, which flattened a back tire, near 111th Street South and 119th Street West. Legleiter allegedly drove toward the officer, missing him by inches, and the officer fired four times, Ives said. The vehicle then rolled. 

Legleiter and his girlfriend's 16-month-old daughter were not hurt. His 16-year-old girlfriend had minor injuries. 

The Clearwater officer who fired his weapon was placed on administrative leave, per policy. He's been with the department for three years and has a total of 10 to 12 years of law enforcement experience, Ives said.
