“We had an individual in a vehicle drive through our scene tape and drive up on the officers putting their lives in grave danger,” said Spires. “We are actively looking for that vehicle right now but when you see the scene tape and the police lights do not try to drive through that scene. We have people actually walk around there and put their lives in danger.”
