Deputy injured while investigating vehicle break-ins

A Jefferson County sheriff’s deputy suffered minor injuries after he was hit by a car while investigating vehicle break-ins.

Deputies spotted a Jeep Wrangler that fit a description Saturday night and when they tried to stop it, another vehicle rammed into a patrol car.

The deputies were trying to arrest the suspect that rammed their vehicle when the Jeep returned and hit a deputy, causing minor injuries.

The two suspects fled in the Jeep, which was spotted in Denver and rammed a Denver police car. The suspects fled, and one was later arrested in Lakewood.

Police are still trying to find the other suspect.
