OSSIPEE — A YouTuber accused of hitting a Bartlett police officer with his Jeep, then leading officers on a chase last spring, is no longer facing a charge of attempted murder; however, a Carroll County Superior Court grand jury recently indicted him on a series of other felony charges.
The indictments against Erik Conover, 35, of New York City, stem from a series of incidents on March 15 that took place after Bartlett Patrol Officer Cameron Emmett attempted to pull Conover over for speeding. After Emmett pulled his cruiser directly in front of Conover's Jeep, County Attorney Keith Blair said Conover backed up and then accelerated, shoving the officer's vehicle at least 30 feet. Emmett suffered a separated lateral collateral ligament but has since recovered.
