(1) Cowardice charges dropped
Iraq soldier cited panic attacks.
Regarding "panic attacks", what I got is that it is a psychological disease. Am I on the right track?
Context:

(2) Run a stop sign
What I understood is that "run = drive the car and bump it to (a stop sign)".
Right?
Context:
Police allege Miller led them on a 30-minute chase after they saw him run a stop sign in a reportedly stolen car. The chase ended when Miller jumped out of the car in Compton and was tackled by officers as he stopped and appeared to be surrendering. He was on the ground when Officer John Hatfield struck him 11 times with a metal flashlight.
