Two undercover CSPD officers were in an unmarked vehicle near Acacia Park when they observed a white Dodge Durango blow through a red light and stop in front of them. The officers began to make contact with the driver and passenger of the SUV when the driver gave a warning he was about to flee. Then, the driver aggressively drove the car in reverse, narrowly missing the officers, but ramming the unmarked vehicle. The suspect vehicle drove away rapidly and was last seen on Cascade, NB, heading through Colorado College. The driver was described as Hispanic with a shaved head. The officers were uninjured.
