Southern Colorado police officer reportedly assaulted, suspect sought
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) – Police are looking for a suspect that reportedly assaulted an officer on Friday.
The Palmer Lake Police Department said an officer was doing a traffic stop around 11:38 p.m. on Friday near Highway 105 and Peak View Boulevard. During the stop, they said a dark blue sedan with a white rear fender sped by and someone in that car threw a bottle at the officer while yelling obscenities.
Police said that officer got a partial description of the passenger, who was described to be a white man wearing a black shirt. Police said the suspect’s vehicle headed toward the Monument area, near the McDonald’s off Highway 105.
That suspect then reportedly returned to the Palmer Lake area, speeding past the officer again.
Police said they tried to stop the vehicle, but the suspect evaded, heading south on I-25.
