Charges have been filed against a man accused of trying to run over a deputy leading the deputy to discharge his weapon.

Leonard Barr, 24 was charged Thursday in Buchanan County with felonies for first-degree tampering and second-degree assault of a law enforcement officer.

If convicted each charge carries a maximum sentence of seven years.

As we previously reported, deputies responded to the Taco Bell across from Hy-Vee Tuesday in reference to a report of a stolen vehicle in the drive-thru.

According to court documents, on Tuesday at 10:14 a.m. Barr is accused of attempting to strike a law enforcement officer and fleeing the scene in a stolen motor vehicle after deputies said stop and fired shots into the vehicle.

“Barr’s action put the public in danger of serious injury or death,” said Lonnie Bishop with the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department. “Has a criminal history to include tampering and fleeing from law enforcement. His latest arrest he shows a propensity to continue fleeing from law enforcement and the laws of this state endangering the general public.”

Barr’s bail has been set at $10,000 cash only.
