PIONEER, Calif. — A 43-year-old man was arrested Monday after he allegedly drove his truck into an Amador County patrol vehicle.

The truck was found and deputies say Ahart led them on a chase that ended with him ramming a deputy’s driver side door. The deputy was uninjured.

CHP was told Ahart had several guns he was not allowed to have due to him being a felon and a warrant was executed on his trailer. Officers found a total of 13 guns.

Ahart was found in the area and booked into the Amador County Jail on suspicion of child abuse, assault with a deadly weapon on a peace office, evading, felon in possession of a firearm and other firearms charges.
