The following is from the Concord Police Department:
This past Thursday, April 3, shortly after 10 pm, a Concord Police Department patrol officer attempted to make a traffic stop on a Chrysler sedan on Ellis Street near Clayton Road. The driver of the Chrysler, later identified as Eric Darrall Foreman, a 37-year-old male from Richmond, exited his vehicle and fled of foot prior to his vehicle coming to a complete stop, which caused it to collide with another vehicle. A Concord Police Department officer gave chase to Foreman on foot through an apartment complex and across Clayton Road into the parking lot of PetSmart, located at 1700 Willow Pass Road. Foreman suddenly stopped running, stood in the middle of the parking lot, and despite multiple commands to stop from the officer, pulled a handgun out of his pants, and turned towards the officer holding it in his hand. An officer involved shooting then occurred. Foreman was not struck by the gunfire from the officer and continued to flee, running southeast through the parking lot and then east along the sidewalk of Clayton Road. When a second responding officer attempted to stop Foreman, Foreman pointed his handgun at that officer and a second officer involved shooting occurred in front of 1741 Clayton Road. Foreman again was not struck by gunfire and ultimately hid in the area of Sutter Street and Clayton Road. A perimeter was quickly established around the area Foreman was hiding. Additional resources were requested and arrived, including a Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office helicopter, K9 officer, and drone team, as well as Pittsburg PD and Pleasant Hill PD officers. Foreman attempted to escape the perimeter but was ultimately apprehended by a Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office K9. Foreman was found to be in possession of a loaded handgun at the time of his arrest. Concord Police Department detectives and the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office Crime Lab responded and conducted the investigation. Subsequent investigation showed that Foreman had attempted to shoot at the officers. Foreman was ultimately booked into the Martinez Detention Facility. Today, the Concord Police Department Major Crimes Unit presented the case to the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office who charged Foreman with multiple counts of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, possession of a handgun and ammunition by a convicted felon, hit-and-run, and obstructing an investigation.
Lock him up for good.
Our local police officers are the best.
As proven by this apprehension.
But maybe not the best shots. Seems like it is time to get back to the range.
Missed him twice?
Team work at its beat. Good job Sheriff’s Office, Pittsburg PD, Pleasant Hill PD, Concord PD,
and Deputy Pooch.
Put him in the chair and be done with him!
Zap!
Good job LE! …and K9 Bowser!
Were the officers shooting at the suspect “Storm troopers” by chance?
These are the people liberals want to protect,it doesnt matter what they did..how dare you confront them, thier life is hard enough…..:(
Great job by CPD and the rest of the depts. Let’s hope some liberal judge doesn’t let him at on bail and our liberal DA doesn’t give him a deal.
This pos needs to be off the streets for good.
Great piece of work
Wild Wild West
See how good it does to have gun laws that prevent criminals from possessing guns? Gun laws only restrict law abiding citizens from their rights, criminals simply hit the streets and get their guns through one of the homies.
That is so true. Unfortunately, the left will never listen to this because it involves common sense and keeping one’s head out of the sand!
I hear ya brother! Let’s get rid of traffic laws too cause sometimes people run red lights anyways!
Well, I tell ya. I’d feel a whole lot better if Mr. Foreman was on day seven of his dirt nap. But…. Oh well.
