A 32-year-old man faces at least 29 charges after a high-speed chase at more than 100 mph and veering into a state trooper's vehicle during the incident, police said.

Ronald Thomas Comeger is accused of fleeing police with a woman and a 7-week-old infant as passengers during the chase on June 11. Comeger fled a traffic stop while heading west on Route 283 before deliberately veering at a state trooper and coming to a stop after crashing into another car, according to a news release from the Lancaster County district attorney's office.

The following is a police account of the incident provided by Trooper Stefanie Schiavoni:

State police radar captured the Volkswagen driven by Comeger going 73 mph in a 55 mph zone at the Route 283 and Route 30 interchange in Manheim Township. The trooper turned on the patrol vehicle's lights and sirens to pursue Comeger, but he sped up and headed west on Route 283, weaving through traffic.

The chase continued for about 21 miles, until Comeger steered the Volkswagen directly at a trooper who was out of his vehicle attempting to deploy stop sticks. The trooper was able to dive away from the oncoming vehicle.

Comeger crashed into another vehicle, causing both to strike a wall and come to a stop near the Toll House Road exit in Dauphin County. Comeger then climbed into the back seat of the Volkswagen and was holding the baby as a human shield when police approached.

Police said the baby sustained cuts to his head. The child's mother sustained cuts and bruises to her arms and legs, officials said. The trooper also had cuts and bruises on his arms and legs.

Comeger refused to give police an address when he was arrested. His Delaware driver's license was suspended, officials said.

Police found an ounce of cocaine, a marijuana joint, $350 in cash and a six-pack of beer with two beers missing. Comeger had alcohol on his breath at the hospital and police are awaiting blood test results, officials said.



The child's mother told police that Comeger said "someone is going to get hurt" as the chase ensued. He also told the woman he didn't want to go back to jail when she asked him to pull over during the chase.

Charges filed against Comeger include felony counts of attempted homicide, three counts of aggravated assault, four counts of aggravated assault by vehicle, endangering a child, fleeing police and three counts of causing a crash while not licensed. He is being held at the Lancaster County Prison on $1 million bail scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 2 p.m. on June 24.
