Trevor Strickland stole a dump truck and rammed an Arkansas State Police vehicle.

The dump truck was reported stolen to the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office around 5:25 p.m. Wednesday evening near the Furlow community.

The truck was being driven by 29-year-old Trevor Strickland when it crashed into an Arkansas State Police car that was blocking Lingo Road.

Strickland was not injured and was taken into custody.
