A Michigan pastor with eight drunk driving offenses tried to escape another DWI arrest by ramming his car into a police cruiser, officials said.
David Jones, 57, was allegedly drunk in his car around 1am last Wednesday when officers arrived at the convenience store off Interstate 75 in Arenac County, Michigan, after someone called to report a suspicious man.
The plastered pastor 'refused to roll down his window, refused to do anything,' Arenac County Undersheriff Don McIntyre told WXYZ.
He then sped across the highway and briefly stopped in a parking lot before speeding up and crashing into the back of a building, according to the TV station.
Jones then turned around and intentionally slammed into the police car, officials said.

'He struck their building, turned his vehicle towards deputies, accelerated, smashing our patrol car,' McIntyre told the news station.
After the crash, the pastor refused to get out of his car and the two deputies had to break the windows and wrestle Jones from his car, police said.
