Denver police said Tuesday that a man who broke a policewoman’s wrist and ran away with handcuffs dangling from his right arm Monday had meth-making materials in the trunk of his car.
Peter Edward VanVolkinburg, 32, was pulled over about 10 a.m. Monday at 29th and Downing streets on suspicion that he had driven away from a traffic accident. As the officer tried to handcuff him, he injured her and ran away.
When police checked out his impounded car, they found “items consistent with the production of methamphetamine in his car,” said Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson.
VanVolkinburg is being sought on a felony warrant alleging second-degree assault to a police officer.
