Felony suspect rams Boise police car, eludes authorities in high-speed chase
The Ada County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man accused of ramming a Boise Police Department vehicle and leading authorities on a high-speed chase through Ada County early Friday morning.
Boise police officers responded to a call related to a 'problem subject' at around 3 a.m., according to an Instagram post from the Sheriff's Office.
Erik Enriques, who is wanted on a felony probation violation warrant, was located on the 600 block of Pearl Street in Boise at around 4 a.m. Enriques rammed the police vehicle with a car and fled, police said, and a pursuit ensued.
Multiple attempts were made to stop Enriques by Boise, Meridian and Kuna police, as well as Ada County sheriff's deputies. The Sheriff's Office took over pursuit once Enriques traveled into Kuna.
'The suspect drove recklessly and at a high rate of speed through closed roads and construction zones before abandoning his vehicle in the area of Kay Ave. and Ardell Rd.,' according to a Facebook post.
Authorities attempted to find Enriques using police dogs, drones and specialized units, and a CodeRed emergency notification was issued to residents in the surrounding area. Local schools also were notified.
As of 6 p.m. Friday, Enriques still had not been located.
Anyone with information regarding Enriques is asked to contact Ada County nonemergency dispatch at 208-377-6790.
