An officer spotted the stolen vehicle in the Circle K parking lot, and according to police, the officer was assaulted by a man when he approached the vehicle.

The man was identified as Ricki Gould, a transient who most recently lived in Corinna.

Police began searching for Gould, along with a woman who was traveling with him, Ashlynn Libby.
