A suspect has been apprehended following a hit-and-run incident involving a Spencer police officer, after a police chase led to a standoff in northeast Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office confirmed that they are now leading the investigative efforts into the situation which transpired on Saturday, as reported by News 9.
The suspect, identified as Shavaughn Antwine, was arrested after allegedly injuring a Spencer officer with a vehicle, the chase ended when Antwine barred herself inside a residence near Northeast 50th Street and Anderson Road, as per KFOR’s report; the officer was taken to the hospital and is currently in stable condition, remaining conscious and alert during the time of transport.
Following the standoff, Antwine was taken into custody and has been charged with aggravated assault and battery upon an emergency medical technician and eluding a police officer, according to information from KOCO. Details on the officer's identity have not been released; the sheriff's office anticipates releasing more information about the case later this week.
Initial responses by the Spencer Police to a call near Northeast 41st and North Post Road set the scene for the subsequent chain of events which led to Antwine's flight and the consequent standoff; a good Samaritan reportedly assisted the injured officer before the arrival of emergency services, according to KFOR.
