Open Records Summary :

Multiple law enforcement agencies chased a man on the highway after having received a call for a child sexual abuse investigation. The man, identified only as a Latino man named Miguel, no last name given, fled at high speed from police but returned home and locked himself in.
He escaped again, ramming his way through a Cochise County Sheriff’s Office vehicle, fled east on I-10, then north on U.S. Highway 191 at speeds in excess of 100 mph.
Stop sticks were about to be placed at milepost 98 but the car turned around and drove south, then turned west and another attempt near that anticipated location at spike strips was made. A Grappler was used to stop him. He picked up a gun and committed suicide under police duress when ensnared by the Grappler.
