The suspect reportedly drove off in the CHP patrol vehicle and crashed into a semi truck, causing both vehicles to plunge down an embankment. The patrol vehicle burned.
Deputy Tyee Browne was making a traffic stop on a suspect who was wanted for burglaries in Cordele around 3:40 a.m. As the deputy was approaching the suspect, the suspect shot him.
CSP troopers successfully stopped the car. As they were arresting the driver, he somehow “gained access to the front of a fully marked Colorado State Patrol vehicle and fled," troopers said.
