In Aurora, Colorado, police were involved in a vehicle chase shortly after midnight recently. Interestingly, the officers, echoing Waylon Jennings, stated, “Good boys, we meant no harm.” Things escalated when they discovered the car they were following had been reported stolen.
Initially, police tried to use their StarChase equipment, which is designed to shoot GPS darts into targeted vehicles. However, the dart missed its mark, prompting officers to turn on their lights and sirens.
As the chase unfolded, a masked passenger in the back seat brandished a firearm at the police. Thankfully, no shots were fired, but the officers recognized the need to detain the suspects, igniting the pursuit.
It quickly turned dangerous. The fleeing vehicle crashed into a median—reminiscent of a scene from “Dukes of Hazzard,” as police footage captured the vehicle lifting off the ground. According to police, “It may be 2026, but cars probably shouldn’t be flying like that.”
The collision happened at the intersection of Boyle Drive and North Hannibal Street, yet the suspects attempted to flee on foot. Unfortunately for them, their escape was short-lived. Officers soon discovered three suspects hiding in a backyard: 18-year-olds Angelo Munguia and Wati Heng, along with a 17-year-old male.
As officers approached, one suspect was heard pleading, “I’ll do anything, brother!” Following the incident, Munguia faced multiple charges, including felony intimidation, while Heng was charged with theft and fleeing from the police.
Ultimately, police confirmed that the vehicle was indeed stolen and had originated from a nearby city. In sum, a chaotic night serving as a reminder that, as Jennings understood, such actions indeed go beyond legal boundaries.
