ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (KDVR) — The Englewood Police Department took Lars A. Bowen, 34, into custody after they say he nearly hit an officer with a vehicle on Thursday morning.
The incident started at around 1:46 a.m. near South Umatilla Street and West Colorado Avenue. EPD said they responded to a burglary in progress at a business in the area.
When police arrived on scene, the suspect took off in a stolen car, crashed through a fence, and nearly hit an officer, EPD said.
A different officer fired shots at the suspect, but he was able to drive away. No officers were injured.
The suspect was driving a black 2019 Audi SQ5 SUV with front-end damage. Police said there was no license plate on the Audi, but it has an Auto Nation placard in place of the license plate.
After searching for the suspect for several hours, EPD said he was taken into custody around 10 a.m.
The suspect was not injured. Police have not released his identity.
Since an officer fired shots, the 18th Judicial District’s Critical Incident Response Team is investigating the shooting.
