JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — The Jefferson County deputies are searching for two people they said were in a vehicle that rammed a patrol car Tuesday morning.
A call came in around 7:30 a.m. for a suspicious vehicle in the 6300 block of Robb Way, according to Jackie Kelley with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. When a responding deputy tried to make contact with the SUV, the driver rammed the patrol car and then took off, according to Kelley.
