An investigation is underway after a Kingston Police officer was nearly run over while attempting to apprehend a suspect.
Kingston Police say that on Friday afternoon the plain clothes officer was at the Lowe’s Home Improvement store located at William Gould Way when he observed a felony larceny in progress.
The officer attempted to detain the suspect, who violently resisted and fled the scene in a vehicle, crashing into an uninvolved vehicle and nearly running the officer over.
Police say they are confident that they “have probable cause to charge the suspect with multiple felony crimes related to the incident including larceny and assault related charges. “
They also say they have strong leads and upon completion of the investigation and confirmation of the suspect’s identity, they will be requesting that the court issue criminal charges against the defendant.
