The incident, which occurred just a few weeks ago, began on Hwy. 51 when the suspect, Carlos Delfin, attempted to carjack another vehicle.

Delphine is now facing a staggering 22 felony charges in connection to this crime spree.
This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that law enforcement officers face daily while protecting our communities. The body camera footage highlights the split-second decisions they must make and the risks they take to ensure public safety. Thankfully, their quick response and coordinated efforts led to the apprehension of a dangerous individual, preventing further harm to innocent bystanders
