The deputy blocked the car and ordered the two men to leave the vehicle at gunpoint. Police say that Newfang instead drove his car in reverse toward the deputy, drove over a curb and then back onto the street, sideswiping the patrol car. The passenger managed to get out as Newfang completed a U-turn and began driving away, sheriff's officials said. As Newfang drove away from the deputy, Haney fired several shots from his handgun and struck both left-side tires. Newfang continued to drive before abandoning the car about 300 yards away, Hansen said. Haney chased Newfang on foot down the street and continued south of Euclid Avenue, where he arrested Newfang with the neighbor's help. Hansen said the sheriff's personnel bureau is investigating the incident because it involved a deputy who fired his handgun. The investigation is standard procedure when an officer's gun is discharged. |
