A man identified as 33-year-old Jeffrey Conlin was seen running a red light and performing an illegal u-turn by police officers who were at that time responding to a burglary on Highway 290. Though he was likely not involved with the burglary, Conlin allegedly shot at police officers and sped away as they tried to stop him. After stealing a woman's car at Highway 6 and FM 529, he continued down Highway 6 where he struck officer Richard Martin, 47, who was laying spike strips on the road in an attempt to end the dangerous chase.
