AUBURN – A Lisbon man who rammed two police cruisers while leading officers on a chase in a stolen dump truck faces charges of aggravated attempted murder.

Bartolo Ford, 47, was shot in the hip or upper leg by a police officer whose cruiser was rammed Monday night. Police said Ford also rammed a second cruiser from behind and tried to drive into a third before abandoning the 1-ton truck after hitting two parked cars.

By the time Ford gave up, more than two dozen officers from five police agencies were searching for him in the woods. He is reported to be in satisfactory condition.

Police aren’t saying how many shots were fired. The officer who fired the shot that hit Ford is on paid administrative leave while an investigation is completed.
