An alleged one-man crime spree in Denver has resulted in the arrest of 32-year-old Matthew Bonner, who faces a myriad of charges stemming from three incidents last month.
In a May 8 incident, Bonner was accused of fleeing a gas station without paying for gas and then eluding police who tried to stop him.
On May 27, he is accused of breaking into two homes and stealing household items and a car.
A day later, while police were trying to apprehend him, he is accused of ramming a Denver police car with the stolen vehicle. According to the Denver district attorney’s office, Bonner then injured officers while resisting arrest.
As a result of the two home burglaries and stealing the car on May 27, he faces two counts of first-degree burglary and two counts of theft.
For not paying for the gasoline and then fleeing from pursuing officers on May 8, he is charged with obstructing a police officer, theft, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
The ramming of the police car on May 28 has resulted in two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault, aggravated motor vehicle theft, two counts of vehicular eluding, resisting arrest and possession of a weapon by a previous offender.
Bonner is being held in Denver County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
