A caller stated a woman was hiding inside the store from her boyfriend, now identified as 37-year-old Michael Alvarez after claiming she had been assaulted. When police arrived on scene, Alvarez was seen parked right in front of the store. Two officers approached the car and gave Alvarez repeated commands to turn off his vehicle and exit the car. A third officer positioned his patrol car behind the suspect’s vehicle. Officials say he failed to follow the officers’ orders and abruptly put his car in reverse, backed up, and struck one of the officers as she stood next to the driver-side door. The second officer was also nearly struck by Alvarez’s vehicle and collided with the third officer’s patrol car
