WATCH: Suspects driving stolen shuttle bus nearly hit first responders on I-70

CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – The suspect wanted for allegedly stealing a shuttle bus and attempting to hit first responders on I-70 on Oct. 10 has been arrested.

According to the U.S. Marshals, 30-year-old Jared Brooks was arrested in the early morning hours of Nov. 21st. Law enforcement says Brooks was wanted on a felony arrest warrant for four counts of criminal attempt murder in the first degree – extreme indifference to human life, two counts of 1st first-degree aggravated motor vehicle theft, two counts of vehicular eluding, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and conspiracy to commit aggravated motor vehicle theft.

Video released by the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office shows two suspects driving a stolen shuttle bus that barreled through an active crash scene on I-70 in October, narrowly missing first responders and even forcing one to leap over a concrete barrier to avoid being hit.

The footage – taken from both inside and outside the bus – captures a male suspect behind the wheel and a female suspect riding in the passenger seat. The sheriff's office says the woman has also been identified.

According to the sheriff's office, the incident began on the morning of Friday, Oct. 10, when a Roundabout shuttle bus was stolen from Georgetown.

Video shows the suspects driving the stolen bus eastbound on I-70 near mile marker 241 in Idaho Springs, swerving in and out of closed express and left lanes while first responders were investigating a single car crash.

At one point, the male suspect appears to comment, “There’s pigs right here,” before swerving between a fire engine and parked patrol vehicles in the left lane, narrowly missing officers.

First responders can be seen scrambling out of the bus’s path, with one even jumping the concrete barrier separating the lanes to avoid being struck.

The Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the stolen bus hit an Idaho Springs police vehicle at the crash scene, though details on the extent of the damage were not released.

Another clip from the bus’s interior camera captures the driver speaking again, saying what sounds like “this is the perfect disguise too.”

The sheriff's office says the stolen shuttle was found abandoned in Denver later the same day. Though the woman has been identified, it's unclear if anyone has been arrested.
