The patrol says a trooper stopped Morrissey's car for speeding in Blair Thursday afternoon. A driver's license check showed he was wanted on a warrant for possession of obscene material in Washington state.
Authorities say as the trooper returned to the car, Morrissey drove off. A chase ended 30 minutes later in Fremont when Morrissey clipped a semitrailer and turned into the parking of the Fremont Medical Center.
The patrol says Morrissey began cutting his neck and stabbed himself in the leg before he was subdued.
