Man hits woman with SUV in law enforcement parking lot, shot at by deputy before arrested
A Garden City man remained jailed Saturday after he used his SUV to hit a woman walking in the Finney County Law Enforcement Center parking lot and then was shot at by a deputy he reversed toward, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and jail records. The relationship between the woman and man, both age 25, is still under investigation, KBI spokesperson Melissa Underwood said Saturday. The woman was treated and released from a local hospital. Around 2:40 p.m. Friday, the man drove his 2020 Toyota RAV4 'off the roadway' and struck the woman in the parking lot and began to flee, Underwood said in a news release. A Finney County Sheriff's Office deputy ran after the vehicle, when the man reversed, driving toward the deputy who fired two rounds toward the suspect, Underwood said, adding neither shot hit the suspect. 'He fled the area, still driving the SUV,' she said. Soon after, a Garden City officer spotted the vehicle, leading to a short pursuit before the man pulled over, she said. The man 'kicked one of the officers' while being arrested, she said. The man was arrested on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder, fleeing and eluding and battery of an officer.
