A man who is alleged to have broken a Denver policewoman’s wrist turned himself in to authorities Wednesday.
Peter VanVolkinburg was taken into custody in the 3500 block of South Bannock Street shortly after noon without incident, said Sonny Jackson, Denver Police Department spokesman.
Police said VanVolkinburg, 32, was stopped about 10 a.m. Monday at 29th and Downing streets on suspicion that he’d driven away from a traffic accident.
At the traffic stop, an officer tried to handcuff the suspect, but he resisted, breaking the officer’s wrist, police said. He ran off with handcuffs dangling from his right arm.
Police investigators checked out his impounded Pontiac Grand Am on Tuesday and found “items consistent with the production of methamphetamine in his car,” Jackson said.
