A York County man who was pulled over for driving nearly 50 mph over the speed limit ran from a police officer and yelled “yeehaw” several times during the chase, according to police.

Jacob Scott Silvinski, 25, of West Manchester Township, is also accused of driving under the influence and head-butting the police officer who apprehended him, Northern York Regional police said.

Silvinski was driving 83 mph in a 35 mph zone around 2:18 a.m. Monday in Dover Township, police said. A police officer pulled over his Dodge Charger, but Silvinski ran from the vehicle and led the officer through several nearby yards.

The officer managed to catch up with Silvinski near Church Road. That’s where he head-butted the officer, who suffered minor injuries to his face and legs, police said.

Silvinski is facing charges of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, driving under the influence, driving with a license that was suspended from a prior DUI and speeding, police said.

Police continue to investigate the incident. Anyone with information is encouraged to call police at 717-292-3647.
