Court records also indicate that a bond for Skirvin has been set at $1.5 million.
The charge is connected to the pedestrian strike that started a string of events on Monday.
Skirvin is accused of purposefully hitting his daughter with his white truck, according to a statement of facts filed Wednesday.
As News Center 7 previously reported, Skirvin allegedly ran over his daughter at Voyager Village on Monday morning. She sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the crash.
While first responders were there helping the victim, police said Skirvin sped out of the park shouting and pointing a gun at them and firefighters as he pulled onto US 35.
From there, police started the chase of the truck which ended with Skirvin crashing into a police cruiser and then gunfire.
Police said Wednesday that Skirvin and the Trotwood officer injured in the crash on US 35 were currently in stable condition at a local hospital.
Any additional charges connected to the events after the pedestrian strike at Voyager Village are pending.
