The trooper was not hit, but the Highway Patrol vehicle was riddled with bullets.
It unfolded shortly before 8:30 p.m. when the trooper tried to stop a speeding vehicle on I-295, and a man leaned out of the passenger window of the car and fired several gunshots, hitting the patrol vehicle, including the front bumper and the tires.
On September 3, the State Highway Patrol arrested Jumar Lavelle Moore, 21, of Fayetteville.
He was found in Spring Lake and NCSHP believe he was the passenger that fired gunshots at the trooper.
On the same day, Destiny Mahkia Williamson, was also arrested for driving the car that fled. Both are facing numerous charges including assault on a law enforcement officer with a firearm.
The trooper's vehicle became disabled because of a flat tire, and the driver sped away, taking the exit on McArthur Road heading east.
The trooper told ABC11 that he clocked the Dodge going 82 mph in a 65 mph zone and that a person in the suspect vehicle started firing shots as soon as he activated his blue lights.
