Lance Walter pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including Battery with Bodily Injury to a Public Safety Officer, Leaving the Scene of an Accident with Moderate or Serious Bodily Injury, Resisting Law Enforcement, Possession of Methamphetamine, and Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated Endangering a Person.

The confrontation happened this past June 2025. Walter drove off after police attempted to pull him over. After a short pursuit, he rammed his car into a parked Warsaw Police Department vehicle as the officer was exiting it. That officer was treated for a leg injury.

After the crash, Walter drove off, before turning around to ram the same vehicle again. The involved officer then fired his gun once, striking Walter's vehicle.
