Sheriffs deputy say 39-year-old Dale Rigby, of Port Byron, refused to pull over for speeding on Route 104 in Wayne County yesterday afternoon.

Rigby was not hit by the gun shot but did run his van off the road - he was then taken into custody. On top of the attempted murder of a police officer charge - Rigby could be facing other charges. Two passengers in Rigbys van were not injured and are not facing any charges.
