Murray police said the ICE agents indicated that no one was injured but needed officers to expedite to their location.
“Upon arrival, UPD officers were informed by ICE agents that the driver in question had allegedly swerved toward them with his vehicle,” UPD said in a statement. “However, when UPD officers sought clarification on the charges, they were unable to obtain a clear response from ICE agents.”
Murray police officers asked the driver to exit the car and handcuffed him since the incident happened in their jurisdiction.
“Within minutes of the subject being detained by Murray Police, UPD informed Murray Officers that the incident began at a location within the jurisdiction of the Unified Police Department,” Murray police said in a statement.
UPD officers expressed concern about the driver’s treatment and removed the handcuffs from the driver. Murray police officers stayed on the scene while ICE and UPD interacted with the driver.
