SOUTH SALT LAKE — A Unified police officer was hospitalized after being hit by a suspect’s car on Friday, police say.

During a press conference, Unified police officer Quin Wilkins said officers were trying to arrest a federal fugitive, 39-year-old Tyson Yellowbear, at 249 E. Helm Ave at 4:40 p.m.

During the arrest, Wilkins said Yellowbear attempted to flee in his car and struck a Unified police officer who was outside his patrol car.

According to Wilkins, another Unified police officer then struck Yellowbear’s car in an attempt to disable it.

Wilkins said the suspect was taken into custody, and all three were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Court documents show that Yellowbear was found guilty in 2007 of criminal homicide by assault and was arrested in 2014 for a parole violation after an armed stand-off with police.
