A man who ran over a police officer on Christmas Eve, leaving him permanently disfigured, has been sentenced to eight years in prison — including a five-year non-parole period — for a brazen, meth-fueled attack that shocked the community. Daniel Crutchfield, who had previously pleaded guilty to endangering life and possessing a firearm, reversed his car into the officer’s patrol vehicle after being pepper sprayed, then accelerated forward, striking Senior Constable Liam Bennett. The court emphasized the severity of targeting a police officer on duty, and Crutchfield now faces a seven-year driving ban. The South Australian Police Association praised the sentence as justice for a brave officer and a deterrent for future acts of violence against those who serve the public.
