An Adams County deputy was hurt north of Denver's city limits on Thursday when a person drove their car into his leg. That person is now under arrest, according to the Adams County Sheriff's Office.

The person who was arrested is suspected of a string of several crimes in the evening, including firing a gun in the air and leading police on chases.

The sheriff's office said it started when a deputy tried to pull the suspect's car over at 5:18 p.m. at Corona Street and Essex Drive. That's close to Thornton in Adams County.

The suspect fired rounds at that point and didn't hurt anyone and drove off. Deputies chased after the vehicle but lost it.

Soon afterwards, deputies found a gun the suspect apparently left behind.

For some reason, the driver then returned to the scene and fired shots
