The unfortunate incident unfolded late Monday night when Lafayette Police Department officers responded to a domestic disturbance call at an apartment complex in the 900 block of S. College Road. Upon arrival, officers were informed that the suspect was still present at the scene.
As officers attempted to approach the suspect’s vehicle, the individual tried to flee, hitting a police unit and narrowly missing two officers in the process. The suspect managed to escape, prompting a pursuit by the officers in the direction the suspect fled.
