PEARL-WEARING BRAT SPEEDS HIS $133K MERCEDES OVER DOWN OFFICER

In a shocking video going viral online, the attempted murder of a police officer is caught on video.

At 11:56 a.m., a Whitpain Township Police Sergeant attempts to stop a white Mercedes G-Wagon, but the vehicle speeds away with the suspect driving erratically, at high speed, crossing over the concrete median. The officer discontinues the chase once it gets out of hand, putting others' lives in danger, but he does alert other departments to be on the lookout.

Later, at 12:39 p.m., Plymouth Township police respond to Doubletree Guest Suites, where the Mercedes G-Wagon is spotted.

Pulling directly behind the Mercedes, activating lights, the Mercedes, allegedly driven by Dalton Janiczek, is thrown into reverse, and the $130,000 vehicle is used as a battering ram against the patrol unit, striking the police vehicle multiple times.

The officer gets out of his patrol car and orders Janiczek to stop, but Janiczek does the opposite and floors the Mercedes, attempting to hit the officer, who now discharges his firearm in defense.

The officer is injured during this car attack, and while on the ground, he attempts to put a tourniquet on his wounded leg, while he also watches as Janiczek circles the parking lot and heads back to hit him again, and again, and again.

Janiczek flees the parking lot. Thankfully, the attempted murder of a police officer is caught on tape.

Dalton Janiczek is no stranger to local police. In the week before his arrest, he had been involved in several incidents in the area, including a threat to bomb a police station.

Janiczek lives a life of privilege with his high-flying, locally famous attorney father, Lee Janiczek, growing up in Amber, Pennsylvania, in a $1.4 million dollar home.

Janiczek graduated from LaSalle College High School in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, and then spent two years at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles, where he was on the rowing team.

His grandfather, Dr. Lee J. Janiczek, the longest-serving commissioner in Springfield Township,
retired in 2019 after 44 years of public service.
