ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – An attempted murder and assault suspect in Adams County is still on the run after a deputy pursuit ended in a crash Monday evening.
The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) states that it is now investigating the crash, which occurred at approximately 5:13 p.m. on July 7 at East 78th Avenue and York Street.
According to CSP, the crash happened while deputies with the Adams County Sheriff's Office were actively pursuing an unnamed suspect, who was wanted for attempted homicide and first-degree assault. The suspect was driving a black Ford 150.
