Broadway, on suspicion of reckless driving. A male passenger left the scene on foot.<\/p>\n<p>While Carver took Brittany Killsinsight to the Montezuma County Detention Center on suspicion of DUI, Sharp and Sgt. Kurtiss Baumgartner waited with her other passenger, Andrea Killsinsight.<\/p>\n<p>Then the man who had left the scene pulled up in a white Chevy Silverado. Andrea Killsinsight told police his name was Shaguille Harvey.<\/p>\n<p>Sharp attempted to talk with Harvey about why he left the scene, but as he approached him in the Silverado, he detected an \u201coverwhelming odor\u201d of an alcoholic beverage.<\/p>\n<p>When Sharp asked Harvey to exit the vehicle, he allegedly refused, started his truck\u2019s engine and \u201ctook off at a high rate of speed,\u201d nearly running over Sharp\u2019s feet.<\/p>\n<p>As Harvey passed the officers toward South Broadway, Baumgartner threw his spike strips, causing damage to a back tire.<\/p>\n<p>Harvey kept driving, nearly hitting another vehicle as he turned onto South Broadway and headed north, police said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"naviga-map\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=37.3399663%2C-108.5991615&amp;z=15&amp;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Map\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p>With Sharp in pursuit, Harvey turned into the Tomahawk Motel, 728 South Broadway, hitting the steel fence and the motel sign. He then crashed into a concrete wall barrier near the motel swimming pool.<\/p>\n<p>Sharp asked Harvey to get out of the vehicle, which had a damaged door, and he knelt on his knees but refused to lie on his stomach.<\/p>\n<p>Sharp placed his hand on Harvey and again asked him to lie on the ground. When Harvey allegedly pushed against Sharp, the officer used his Taser to subdue him.<\/p>\n<p>Baumgarten arrived and helped force Harvey into his patrol car.<\/p>\n<p>Harvey refused to perform voluntary roadside maneuvers, and at the jail, refused to take a breath test. He was then checked at Southwest Memorial Hospital and cleared for jail.<\/p>\n<p>He was jailed on suspicion of charges including vehicular eluding, driving while license under restraint, reckless driving, resisting arrest and obstructing a peace officer.<\/p>\n<p>He has been scheduled for a pretrial hearing in 22nd Judicial District Court on July 16 at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>suspected of DUI after crashing at motel <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[21,168,28,60,29,51],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-26723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cortez","tag-crime","tag-headlines","tag-montezuma-county","tag-newsletter","tag-police"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26723"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26723\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79456,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26723\/revisions\/79456"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26723"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=26723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
