A man who authorities said rammed two patrol cars during a chase in southern Illinois has been ordered to spend six years in prison.

Victor Shea, 28, of Herrin was sentenced Monday in Williamson County Circuit Court after pleading guilty to two counts of criminal damage to government property, WSIL-TV reported. 

Police have said that while leading Herrin and Energy police on a chase in July, Shea used his vehicle to ram two patrol cars before he fled on foot. He was arrested after being shot by officers with a stun gun, authorities said. 

Prosecutors dropped four other counts, including aggravated fleeing and aggravated assault of an officer, in exchange for Shea's guilty plea.
