An attempted traffic stop on Wednesday in the Walnut Park West neighborhood led to pursuit of a BMW, then multiple people getting out of the car and running from officers. After a foot pursuit, officers took all three suspects, who are convicted felons, into custody. Officers found four guns inside the car.
While searching the suspects, officers found suspected fentanyl on one of the suspects and while retrieving it, the bag ripped and exposed four of our officers. One officer lost consciousness and was administered Narcan. Four officers were taken to the hospital. Thankfully, all will be okay.
The suspects face numerous charges including Resisting Arrest, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Stealing of a Firearm, Unlawful Use of an Illegal Weapon, Assault 1st on Law Enforcement, Armed Criminal Action and Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance.
