During a high-speed chase, Terry Hemmer (defendant) nearly struck a sheriff who was attempting a roadblock, forcing the sheriff to dive into a snowbank. Hemmer was arrested after running out of gas and charged with attempted assault on a peace officer, which required intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury. Under a plea agreement, Hemmer pleaded guilty to attempting to recklessly cause bodily injury, and the trial judge entered a judgment of guilt, which Hemmer then appealed.
