LARIMER COUNTY, CO : Juvenile arrested after nearly driving into Larimer County deputy, crashing into patrol car on the 5100 block of Iowa Avenue on Saturday, 8th December 2018

A juvenile was arrested in Larimer County early Saturday after they allegedly almost drove into a sheriff’s deputy before striking a patrol vehicle.

The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office said about 1:35 a.m., deputies responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle on the 5100 block of Iowa Avenue in an unincorporated part of the county south of Loveland. Deputies found the vehicle at the end of a dead-end road.

“As a deputy walked toward the vehicle to speak with the driver, the vehicle suddenly accelerated toward the deputy, forcing him to quickly move away to avoid being struck. Though the deputy was able to escape the vehicle, it continued on and struck the deputy’s vehicle,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

A second deputy was then able to block the suspect’s vehicle in with his patrol vehicle. Deputies then removed three people from the vehicle, all of whom are juveniles.

No injuries were reported and there is no safety concern for the public, the sheriff’s office said.
