“The driver of the vehicle pulled to a stop just past the railroad tracks, with the patrol officer behind the car on the tracks,” said the Colorado Bureau of Investigation last week. The agency is investigating the train crash. “Two Ft. Lupton officers arrived on the scene and the team conducted a high-risk traffic stop and detained a lone female occupant (age 20, Greeley) placing her in the back of the Platteville patrol car detained on suspicion of felony menacing. While the officers cleared the suspect vehicle as part of the investigation, a train traveling northbound struck the PPD patrol car.”
The Statement released by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation says she WAS DETAINED nothing about arrested.
No Mention of Arrest
On Friday night, a Platteville police officer stopped Rios-Gonzalez after Fort Lupton police received a report about a road rage incident involving a gun. Rios-Gonzalez pulled over just past the railroad tracks on Weld 38, and the Platteville police officer stopped behind her car, with this patrol vehicle on the tracks.
The eight minutes of edited police footage released Friday shows two Fort Lupton officers arriving to provide backup to the Platteville police officer. They coax Rios-Gonzalez from her pickup truck, handcuff her and put her in the back of the Platteville patrol vehicle, which remained on the train tracks.
The footage, which includes body camera video and a patrol vehicle’s dashcam video, was obtained by The Denver Post through an open records request.
The Platteville officer and one Fort Lupton officer then searched the pickup truck for other people. Once they finished, the Platteville officer and a second Fort Lupton officer began searching for weapons. The other Fort Lupton officer, who can be seen in the video holding a rifle, returned to the area near the patrol car where Rios-Gonzalez was in custody.
As the officers searching the truck discussed whether or not Rios-Gonzalez might have tossed a gun out a window before she pulled over, a train’s horn can be heard in the distance. But it took the two officers at least 15 seconds to notice it, the video footage shows.
