[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3993768, member: 45773"] I was cruising down US 285 one day thru Conifer, CO...one of the mountain communities I patrolled. It was just about dark when a Jeep Cherokee passed me going the opposite direction. I noticed in the mirror it didn't have any working tail lights. I turned around, caught up to the Jeep, and hit the overheads. The guy turned off the highway right in front of a Safeway store, pulled over just to the edge of the road and stopped. The driver quickly got out of his car so I got out and politely said, "Sir, please get back in your car." The guy shrugged his shoulders and said, "It ain't my car!" Then he turned and hauled ass across the road and up into the woods on the side of the mountain. I immediately started to chase him but noticed the Jeep was rolling forward out into traffic. Before I could do anything it rolled across the road and into a shallow ditch and hit a retaining wall. OK...that problem was solved. So I start chasing the guy up into the trees. I can hear him crashing thru the brush and yelling the occasional expletive as he stumbled thru the darkness. It didn't take long to chase him down and get him cuffed. He'd made it maybe 100 yards up the side of the mountain from the hwy. As we came out of the trees I noticed there were several cars pulled over and a lot of people were milling about. I finally got to a spot where my radio was working and told dispatch I'd caught the guy and had him in custody. A rather large guy walked up to me and said something to the effect of he'd be more than happy to hold the guy while I beat his ass. A lot of the people around seemed to agree that was a good idea. I told him that wouldn't be necessary and put him in my car. I honestly felt I needed to leave for this dude's safety...a lot of people were really pissed off at this guy. Dispatch called and asked me to verify the plate so I did. She told me this vehicle had been in a pursuit with 2 or 3 Denver area police departments and was taken in a car-jacking. After talking to a few people they all had the same story...he'd ran most of them off the hwy on the way up the mountain from the metro area. I found two guns in the car under the drivers seat and one of our K9s found another he'd apparently tossed or dropped while I was chasing him. I decided my guardian angel was working overtime that night. [/QUOTE]
