Man accused of attacking police safety vehicle, leaving one person hurt in Northern Colorado incident

In Northern Colorado, authorities have apprehended a suspect named Dillan Roker following an alleged attack on a police photo enforcement vehicle. The incident occurred near a school zone in the 2000 block of 16th Street.

According to reports, Roker is accused of throwing a 10-pound rock through the window of the vehicle. This act led to charges of attempted first-degree assault, criminal mischief, and third-degree assault.

The technician inside the vehicle suffered minor injuries as a result of the attack. Roker reportedly fled the scene after the incident but was captured shortly thereafter.

It was also revealed that Roker had an active warrant for his arrest in connection with an unrelated misdemeanor. After his capture, officers booked him into the Weld County Jail.

Investigations suggest that the vehicle was conducting speed enforcement at the time of the attack. The rock caused approximately $2,600 worth of damage to the vehicle.

It is important to note that, according to the available search results, there is no verifiable information linking Roker to an outstanding arrest warrant or any unpaid crime.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to traffic laws and maintaining safety, especially in school zones. The authorities are continuing their investigation into the matter.
