Colorado State Patrol uses grappler to catch stolen vehicle in Thornton
DENVER (KDVR) — The Colorado State Patrol used a grappler to help apprehend a stolen vehicle suspect early Wednesday morning in Thornton. CSP said troopers responded to the area of East 84th Avenue and Grant Street at approximately 3:47 a.m. Wednesday after an officer with the Thornton Police Department requested assistance with a stolen Ram pickup truck that was located. Speed cameras in place along Highway 119 construction zone Dashcam video provided to FOX31 shows the suspect vehicle turn onto southbound Interstate 25 from 84th Avenue after a first grapple attempt was unsuccessful, before a second attempt on the interstate is able to contact and disable the vehicle. Both the suspect vehicle and the CSP patrol vehicle crashed into the median and were disabled during the stop. The trooper sustained no injuries, according to CSP, while the suspect fled on foot before being apprehended by officers, southeast of the final stop location. CSP Sgt. Ivan Alvarado told FOX31's Kim Posey that the grappler is a useful tool. 'Even though it did cause a crash, it was a safer way to apprehend this vehicle,' he said. 'It helps us to apprehend a vehicle without having to do what's called a tactical vehicle intervention, the ones where we spin the cars around. So, it's a safer tool that we use.' Other agencies, including the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, also use grapplers. The system works best at slow speeds, Alvardo said, and without much traffic in the surrounding areas. 'Higher speeds bring a little bit more risk, but it's still a safer tool than everything else we have with us, and it's also something that we need to start using to apprehend those bad guys,' he said. Douglas County debuts new tool to stop suspects in getaway vehicles CSP currently has 28 grapplers in use around the state and they have been deployed about 120 times for a variety of crimes. The incident closed all lanes of travel for southbound I-25, but they were reopened by 5:20 a.m., according to CSP, which said the incident remains under investigation.

A 14-year-old is dead and a 17-year-old is suspected of DUI and vehicular manslaughter after a pursuit of a stolen vehicle ended in a crash in Petaluma Saturday night, police said on Sunday. Officers said they spotted a possible DUI driver on Lakeville Highway in Petaluma around 10:10 p.m. Saturday. About five minutes later, police said officers in a marked patrol vehicle attempted to stop the driver of the black Kia Sol after seeing them swerve into oncoming traffic. The driver took off from officers, beginning a police chase, police said. The police department said the officers saw the driver sideswiping a vehicle heading in the opposite direction. No injuries were reported in the incident. About three minutes after officers attempted to pull the driver over, police said the Kia Sol was involved in a rollover crash. All four of the occupants in the vehicle were ejected from the vehicle, with one passenger dying at the scene, police said. Police said the passenger who died was a 14-year-old boy. A 15-year-old and a 16-year-old passenger were taken to the hospital and are stable, police said. The driver, 17, was taken to a hospital where he is stable, police said.

The identification of the 14-year-old killed has not been released at this time. Police said an autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
