Commerce City police arrested two men after responding to a tip that an Arizona fugitive wanted for homicide was at a home near East 78th Avenue and Monaco Street.
John Jacoby, 44, and Andrew Hurtando, 39, are being held for investigation of possession of drugs with intent to distribute, and obstruction and possession of an illegal weapon.
Detective Mike Saunders, spokesman for the Commerce City Police Department, said when officers arrived at around 2 p.m. Saturday, one of the men started running away.
During the chase, an officer fired his weapon. No one was hurt, but an investigation has begun to determine why the officer fired the shot.
The officer’s name was not released.
It is not yet clear if one of the men is the fugitive that police were searching for.
