Narrative

On September 24, 2020, at about 7:20 AM, an ATV unit agent was assisting in the apprehension of three suspects. While working the group via the ATV, one suspect ran out of a cornfield in front of the ATV. The agent applied the brakes to avoid striking the suspect, flipping the ATV in the process. The ATV then rolled over the agent. The agent was hospitalized for a fractured scapula.
