ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit man accused of trying to run over a police officer during a drug bust was jailed Saturday on a $50,000 bond.

Nicholas Stevens, 19, of Melvindale was held in the Wayne County Jail after being arraigned on charges of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, resisting and obstructing a police officer, accessory after the fact to a felony and being a habitual offender.

Undercover officers from the Downriver Area Narcotics Team had bought drugs from a group of suspects about 8 p.m. Thursday in Melvindale, then moved in to make an arrest, Michigan State Police said.

Stevens was in a vehicle and allegedly drove toward an officer as he fled the scene. Another officer shot Stevens in the shoulder, but he managed to drive away without striking the officer.

Stevens was found hours later at a local hospital, where he was being treated for the gunshot wound. He was turned over to police after he was treated.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 21 in 24th District Court in Melvindale.
