Officials have detained the man they considered armed and dangerous in the Picture Rocks area Thursday afternoon.
According to Marana Police spokesman Sgt. Chriswell Scott, Kyle Montgomery, 25, was allegedly involved in a car chase after intentionally ramming a Marana Police vehicle.
Shortly after 10 a.m., Marana police assisted the Pima County Sheriff's Department with a mental health-related call near West Picture Rocks and North Sandario roads. The call involved a woman who was in a car with Montgomery, according to a news release from Marana police.
When officers arrived, the woman fled on foot and was detained, the release says.Â
Montgomery allegedly fled in the car and struck a Marana patrol car in the process. The officer was not injured.
During the officers' pursuit of the car, Montgomery pointed a firearm out the window at the officers and a citizen on the road, the release says. His car eventually crashed into a fence near West Ina Road and North Featherstone Trail and Montgomery fled the scene on foot.
