The chase ended on Colfax as both vehicles were heading east between Kipling and Simms. The trooper's car and the suspect's car made contact, causing the suspect vehicle to crash into some parked cars at the dealership before rolling on to its side.

— A suspected drunken driver dragged a state trooper up to 100 feet early today before crashing his Jeep after a wild chase in Golden and Lakewood.

Trooper Bradley Fox was treated for minor scrapes at the scene and returned to work on the investigation, said Colorado State Patrol spokesman Trooper David Hall.

"He's lucky," Hall said of Trooper Fox.

The DUI suspect, Jeffrey Casey, 35, of Golden, had to be extracted from his Jeep Cherokee, which collided with the trooper's cruiser before rolling into vehicles on display at a used-car dealership.

Casey suffered moderate injuries and was taken by ambulance to St. Anthony Central Hospital in Denver.

The crash closed a stretch of West Colfax Avenue for nearly five hours.

The incident began about 2 a.m. when the trooper pulled over the brown Jeep for suspected DUI on West Sixth Avenue.

As the trooper approached the Jeep, Hall said, "the driver refused to exit the vehicle.

"Ultimately, the individual put the vehicle in drive and started driving with trooper attached to the vehicle," he added. It's unclear how the trooper's arm got caught in the vehicle.

The trooper was dragged 50 to 100 feet before he shook free.

He jumped back in his cruiser and chased the fleeing Jeep into Lakewood with speeds reaching 80 mph, Hall said.

At one point, the trooper tried a tactical maneuver that involved nudging the Jeep in an attempt to send it into a disabling spin, Hall said. It didn't work.

The cruiser and Jeep collided on Colfax near Oak Street.

"The Jeep lost control and hit some parked vehicles on display at the DriveTime dealership lot and then he rolled," Hall said.

The chase ended on Colfax as both vehicles were heading east between Kipling and Simms. The trooper's car and the suspect's car made contact, causing the suspect vehicle to crash into some parked cars at the dealership before rolling on to its side.

The Jeep was mangled and display cars were damaged.

Alcohol use is suspected and the suspect could face a wide variety of charges, Hall said.

    This poor guy was just trying to find his way home after a night out with the boys when this trooper, probably using racial profiling, suddenly and for no good cause tried to issue him a summons. Was the officer justified in reaching into this guys car? No. He was simply trying to keep his car running because it was cold last night and he wanted to keep his heater running. I personally know this guy and he told me that he thought the officer said he could leave. OK, I've never heard of him but I'm sure that's the story. As far as the chase goes, 80mph? Was he trying to make the indy 500 look like a roman chariot race now?

    I think they carry them in their back pocket. This police officer could have reached around with his free hand while he was being drug and then could have thrown them in front of the vehicle. Better yet, he could have stabbed the guy with one!

    Grunt - I always agree with you on the concept of personal responsibility. I would advocate zero tolerance, impound the car and take away the license. Drinking is Ok (done responsibly), Driving is OK (done responsibly), but Drinking & Driving - never OK. Driving is a privilege not a right.

    Sometimes folks don't fully understand the concept of personal responsibility until it hurts financially and they have to walk or ride a bike everywhere. I say this as a former idiot who had two DUIs and has since quit drinking 16+ yrs ago. Not surprisingly I have not had one ticket or traffic issue in 16+ yrs.

    MarineGrunt, I am an equal opportunity condemner. When I see abuse of power by police, I condemn it. On the other hand when I see criminal behavior such as this, I am just as quick if not quicker to condemn it. I am a pro-gun rights, clinging to my guns and religion kind of gal and believe very strongly in the death penalty.

    I can forgive one DUI, because I can honestly say that there but by the grace of God might have gone I in my younger days. But when someone is hurt or you have a situation such as this where someone might have been killed and there is a great deal of property damage, that is a different story. As I tell my grown children, drinking and driving is not cool and even though it used to be tolerated in society, it was not right then either.

    I will be the first to admit that this person needs to be locked up, not just have his licensed taken away or his car confiscated. If that is all that occurs, then what is to stop him from buying another car? You don't have to have a driver's license to own a car.

My dogs unfortunately do go apeshiat in the car, and I've been pulled over with them in it before. The cop asked me if I "made them aggressive" and I had to school the guy on basic k9 mentality regarding its own 'turf.'

    He told me to be cautious as they we're considered weapons. We both shared a hearty laugh and good will while I explained to him the purpose was mere companionship and the 3 loaded firearms in my home were more ment to kill or ward off intruders than the dogs.

    So,

    Off subject (as it has been for sometime now, thanks Heidi ;) ) but what is everyone intending to do over the extended (holiday) weekend? Anything exciting? I'm bored and curious. Got kids? Dogs? Head to the parks, if it doesn't snow.

    You have to work for the government to get Columbus Day off! No kids, no dogs. Just two cats, and they are staying home when I leave for Iowa to do my family visiting duty.

    I'll cat sit for you, just cause your a cool person :) Ok, the Coke was the big issue there. Cats? They are just silly lil' critters trying to ascend to the next level of evolution (the dog). I own a cat. But dont tell anyone.

    Do you really need a Cat Sitter? I could feed them, but that poop is all yours!

    MyFriend,

    You "own" a cat? You must not live in Boulder....whew! I don't need a cat sitter, thanks! A friend of mine is going to check on them. One of my cats is like a dog (but much smarter) and she would probably love to go with me. She is 17 yrs old but still full of energy.

    So as I said before, I'm sure this was a case of racial profiling. The trooper saw a white guy and naturally assumed that he was Irish. Being Irish he had obviously had way too much whiskey or what ever that nasty dark beer is that they drink in Ireland. Also, since the suspect was Irish that means that he probably had a bad temper and liked to fight. The Trooper, by way of pulling him over, enraged the suspect then further enraged him by reaching in to his car in a misguided attempt to take the keys away. The suspect, who was ALLEGEDLY intoxicated misunderstood the officer and simply drove away. Perhaps he was out looking for a new car without the hassle of having to talk to a salesman. In Gaelic, " Get out of the car and put your hands on your head" translates as, "Have a nice night matey, and don't forget to kick your dog when you get home". Perhaps if the trooper had taken a foreign literacy course as part of his training, this whole misunderstanding could have been avoided.

    Heidi,

    Yep, own a cat. Ya got something against "The ROCK!" (boulder). Wow, an old kitty huh? My cat is about 16 or so, still agile too. When ever my rottweiler tries to give her a "full" mouth kiss (follow by a one way trip down her Gullet) she manages to elude her. To an extent, I'd agree cats are a bit smarter than dogs.

    But always remember this biblical message:

    "And God created the Dog (Rottweiler specifically**) in his own Image.....And it was good" --Lost chapter of Genesis

    I.\

    PS...Can you tell I'm an owner and fan of the rotties?

    The name would suggest, obviousily, that you hate cats. We all seen those old tweetie cartoons, and how that big, burly cat kept trying to kill the cartoons primary hero. :)

    Friend, ladybird is a ladybug. Ladybird, ladybird fly away home was one of my favorite poems as a kid, and I learned the British variation instead of American variation--so that's where my name comes from, but I guess cats and bugs don't get along well either.

    The person who had the bird before my mom named it. But it is obviously a male. Why are the male species always prettier or more majestic? Aren't they always supposed to protect the female?

    Most people who say they don't like cats change their mind when they meet mine!

    Lady,

    Not alot of things get along to well with cats. Fish, Dogs, Insects, kids, etc. I once saw a cat battling a huge praying mantis years back, and surprisingly, the mantis won. Chased that silly cat away and than just picked itself up and flew off.

    Stupid cat.

    Yeah, British version. Here it's "ladybug ladybug fly away home..." there it's "ladybird ladybird fly away home." Morbid little poem come to think of it.

    That sillyness aside, Cats can be...interesting. Not that I dislike them, just I prefer them well behind Dogs. As for Brits? They are a fascinating sister nation, but sometimes they confuse me. Oh well, crazy Brits, ya gotta luv em.

    You gotta love it. Where else but here can a RMN news article on a traffic incident turn into something resembling a dating game chat room? Oh, and Heidi... Rottweilers are not German dogs. They are one of the oldest breeds and were used by the Romans for herding dogs. Just a little tidbit to think about. Everyone, please have a nice, safe weekend.
