On March 16, 2010, at approximately 10:30 p.m., a deputy from the Adams County Sheriff's Office attempted to stop a vehicle in the area of Pecos Street and Orchard Drive, for a traffic violation. The driver of the vehicle, an older model, blue, four-door, Buick passenger vehicle, began to elude the deputy. When the pursuit reached Highway 224 and Washington Street, the pursuit was terminated at the direction of the duty sergeant. Another deputy then saw the same vehicle turn west onto 64th Avenue from Washington Street, which dead-ends. Deputies then responded to the area to attempt to contact the driver of the vehicle. When deputies arrived in the area, the driver was stopped and a female was exiting the passenger’s side of the vehicle with a six-month-old baby, who was in a car seat. As deputies began giving verbal commands to the driver and to the female the driver put the vehicle in reverse and drove through a fence at a high rate of speed. The driver then put the vehicle in drive and drove towards a deputy who had exited his vehicle. The deputy fired at the vehicle. The driver continued to drive eastbound on 64th Avenue until going southbound on Washington Street. The pursuit continued into Denver until being terminated in the area of 14th and Court Place.
The driver of the vehicle has been identified as David Andrew Herr, 25, of unincorporated Adams County, remains at large and it is unknown if he sustained any injuries during this incident. The vehicle has not been located. The vehicle may be missing a side view mirror.
The female passenger of the vehicle, Kristin Akin, 24, of unincorporated Adams County, was treated at the scene for minor injuries and was later taken to the Adams County Detention Facility for an outstanding warrant for theft. Akin is being held on a seven-hundred and fifty dollar bond. The baby was released to Adams County Social Services.
Anyone with information on Herr or the vehicle is asked to call the Adams County Sheriff’s Office at (720)322-1313.
