WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) — A man is facing several charges following the alleged theft of a box truck on Sunday morning, according to the Winston-Salem Police Department.
Officers say they responded to a report of an auto break-in in progress at 4:41 a.m. and found Timothy Keith Lindsay, 63, of Winston-Salem, inside of a stolen box truck.
Police say they ordered Lindsay to exit the stolen truck. However, he proceeded to start the truck and "attempted to run over" a sergeant with the WSPD. Lindsay then intentionally rammed the vehicle of another officer on the scene and a chase began.
The chase went for a little less than a mile before Lindsay drove to the dead end of East Brookline Street, according to police. From there, Lindsay got out of the truck and attempted to run away before being caught and taken into custody.
No WSPD officers were reported injured as a result of the chase.
Lindsay is being charged with the following:
- Two counts of assault with a deadly weapon to inflict injury
- Misdemeanor larceny
- Possession of a stolen motor vehicle
- Possession of cocaine
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
- Resisting arrest
- Tampering with auto

He was given a $25,000 secured bond for those charges.
