News Release: An Aurora man has been safely taken into custody after a nearly 12-hour standoff that resulted from the suspect running over a woman with a car.
Pierre Jones, 39, was arrested on probable cause of 2nd Degree Assault, Hit and Run, Vehicular Assault, Reckless Endangerment, Child Abuse and Domestic Violence, after he hit a woman with a vehicle in the parking lot of Robinwood Apartments early Friday morning, seriously injuring her.
The incident began around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 9, at the Robinwood Apartments located on the 18000 block of East Ohio Avenue. At the time, Aurora patrol officers were dispatched to reports of a Ford truck that had hit a pedestrian in the parking lot. The truck then left the scene.
Responding officers located a woman suffering from serious injuries and immediately provided medical aid. She was taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries. Jones and the victim are known to one another.
Utilizing Flock cameras, officers located the truck at a residence in the 14000 block of E. 22nd Place. Officers contacted family members at the address and learned that a toddler was inside the house with Jones. Officers set up an immediate entry team and were able to safely rescue the child from the house and reunite them with family members at the scene. Jones, however, was unable to be contacted.
Detectives authored an emergency search and arrest warrant, which was sent to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office for review. During the subsequent two hours prior to the warrant’s approval, crisis response team members and other officers with the department made numerous and repeated attempts to encourage Jones to come out peacefully and safely. Shortly before 3 p.m., the warrant was approved and officers entered the residence.
Jones, however, was not found inside. A short while later just before 4 p.m., Jones was brought to the Aurora Municipal Court where he surrendered and was arrested without further incident. The investigation into the incident remains active and ongoing.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867). Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000.
