Wyoming Highway Patrol in force Labor Day Weekend.

A man was taken into custody on Friday after shots were fired during a pursuit on Interstate 80, east of Rawlins.

This would be an excellent day to contribute to the Wyoming Law Enforcement memorial statue, which is being built in honor of fallen Wyoming officers!

The driver and two passengers are from Colorado.

The DCI is investigating the incident.

Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper Momen Elazizi grew up in Egypt where he played professional tennis. But, he had always dreamed of living in Wyoming.

The Wyoming Highway Patrol says Basil loved being petted and getting all kinds of attention when he attended special events around the state.

The commercial truck was traveling at a speed too fast for the steep grade of the roadway, and too fast for a vehicle that size. The rig reportedly weighed 140,000 pounds.

Cortez was not wearing his seatbelt and was thrown from the car.

Investigators are looking at excessive speed and driver inattention as contributing factors in the crash.

The Patrol's Professional Standards and Conduct Division is also conducting an administrative internal investigation.

Romig made the 26-mile trip from United Blood Services in Cheyenne to the Albany County line, where he met another trooper, in about 18 minutes.
