SIOUX CITY, Iowa (Sioux City Journal) — A Nebraska man who intentionally rammed an Iowa police officer’s car has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. Thirty-year-old Douglas St. Cyr, of Winnebago, Nebraska, was sentenced Friday for his actions in July in Sioux City. Prosectors say officers were trying to arrest St. Cyr on an outstanding warrant and had his car boxed in, when he intentionally rammed into the undercover officer’s car. The officer fired one shot at St. Cyr’s car. Cyr, who was not hit, tried to flee on foot but was arrested. He was found guilty last month of assault on a police officer and three other counts.
