Court documents obtained by WTOL-11 indicate that McCauge left in a Dodge Journey before authorities arrived on scene.

The chase started after a sheriff’s deputy tried to stop McCague, but he took off.

Deputies eventually blocked McCague’s car in and got him to stop.

When he was ordered to get out of the Dodge, he allegedly accelerated and hit the deputy and his cruiser, WTOL-11 reported.

McCague’s car was found abandoned at a nearby gas station.

He was arrested on Tuesday after a nearly month-long search and is being held on a $100,000 bond.
