He shared that officers got a call for service regarding a theft on Blue Diamond Road. Upon arrival, officers found a suspect that they attempted to take into custody, and experienced resistance from them. As this occurred, other suspects intervened and got in the way of the officers’ process.
One officer held onto the suspect, who got in a vehicle that drove away at high speed, dragging the officer still holding onto them.
The vehicle headed southbound, where it crashed.
Officer Wiggins noted that an unrelated box truck collided with an LVMPD vehicle, causing additional injuries.
Four suspects were taken in. At this time, it’s believed that no weapons were involved.
One officer received serious but non-life-threatening injuries, and one received minor injuries. Both were taken to a nearby hospital.
Officer Wiggins shared that a suspect and the driver of the box truck also sustained minor injuries, and were transported to a nearby hospital as well.
The road will be closed between Hinson Street and Arville Street as the investigation continues.
