Tulsa police released videos Friday depicting a chase that led to an officer's shooting at a driver who rammed his pickup into the officer's patrol vehicle, injuring him. The pursuit occurred about Nov. 17 when Officer Clayton Hicks attempted to pull over a red Dodge pickup leaving the QuikTrip store near 31st Street and Sheridan Road, police said. The officer believed that the truck was speeding. When it didn't stop, Hicks chased the truck, driven by 27-year-old Richard Jean Letourneau, through some nearby neighborhoods, police said. Near 26th Place and 77th East Avenue, Letourneau "slammed on his brakes" and reversed the pickup at a high speed into Hicks' patrol car, police said.
