A TOP Pennsylvania lawyer’s son has been arrested after allegedly mowing down two police officers with his luxury Mercedes G-Wagon — then smiling in his mugshot.
Dalton Janiczek was charged with attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault, and fleeing or attempting to elude police.
The 21-year-old, a student at LA’s Loyola Marymount University and son of high-flying attorney Lee Janiczek, was arraigned Saturday and held without bail, authorities said.
The chaos erupted on October 24 when a sergeant tried to pull over Janiczek’s white Mercedes in Plymouth Township.
Police say the 21-year-old sped off, crossing a concrete median and driving erratically at high speed.
Officers later found the G-Wagon near the Doubletree Guest Suites Hotel.
But instead of surrendering, Janiczek reportedly rammed a patrol car several times, then allegedly accelerated straight toward an officer who had jumped out to stop him.
The officer fired his weapon, but Janiczek — who stands 6’2” — hit him anyway, knocking him to the ground.
As the wounded officer tried to apply a tourniquet to his leg, police say the Mercedes circled back and struck him three more times before speeding off again.
Moments later, Janiczek allegedly slammed head-on into another patrol car, injuring a second officer.
Both officers were rushed to hospital.
The first underwent emergency surgery, and both are now in stable condition.
Janiczek was finally apprehended and taken into custody — where he appeared bleary-eyed but smiling in his booking photo.
The suspect lives with his parents in a $1.4million Ambler mansion.
His father, Lee Janiczek, a partner at Lewis Brisbois LLC — a firm representing corporate and insurance clients — declined to comment when contacted by the Daily Mail.
Janiczek is a member of Loyola Marymount’s rowing team and the former captain of La Salle College High School’s crew team.
But despite his clean-cut image as a student-athlete, he reportedly has a staggering 11 criminal charges since 2023, nearly all for reckless driving.
Nine of those charges came since June 2025 alone, during three separate traffic stops.
This latest incident marks his most serious brush with the law.
Janiczek was denied bail by Magisterial District Judge Thomas P. Murt and is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on November 4.
