It all started last Thursday morning when a state trooper stopped a vehicle driving westbound in the eastbound lanes of C-470 toward I-70. During the initial interaction with the driver, the trooper tased the driver to prevent him from escaping after the driver got back inside his vehicle from the passenger side and climbed into the driver's seat. That's when the driver removed the taser probes, started the vehicle, drove down a grassy median, over a retaining wall and landed on the eastbound I-70 off-ramp to westbound Highway 6 toward Golden.
