A chaotic scene unfolded in Grand Junction, Colorado, as two individuals were taken into custody after trying to escape law enforcement officers during an attempted arrest. The Grand Junction Police Department (GJPD) responded swiftly, using a taser to subdue one suspect while the other engaged in a vehicular confrontation with officers.
Arrest Attempt Turns Into Pursuit
Around 4:40 p.m. on March 20, GJPD officers were dispatched to Maverik, a gas station located at 2696 Highway 50, after receiving reports about a man with multiple outstanding warrants. The suspect, later identified as 29-year-old Cody Bosch, attempted to flee on foot when approached by officers.
An officer deployed a taser to stop Bosch from escaping. The tactic was effective, and he was promptly taken into custody without further struggle.
Unexpected Interference from a Second Suspect
While officers were securing Cody Bosch, a 62-year-old woman, Roseanna Bosch, unexpectedly intervened. Witnesses reported that she threw a drink at the officers before fleeing in her vehicle. Law enforcement immediately attempted a traffic stop, but instead of complying, Roseanna reversed her vehicle into a police car.
Despite resisting arrest, officers managed to apprehend her without further escalation. Authorities confirmed that both Cody and Roseanna sustained minor injuries, while no officers were harmed during the encounter.
Charges Filed Against the Suspects
Both individuals are currently being held at the Mesa County Detention Facility. Cody Bosch remains in custody on his outstanding warrants, while Roseanna Bosch faces a string of charges, including:
- Vehicular Eluding
- Resisting Arrest
- Obstruction of a Police Officer
- Aggravated Driving with a Revoked License
- Reckless Driving
Law enforcement has not disclosed whether the two suspects are related beyond their shared last name.
Community Response and Next Steps
Residents in Grand Junction have expressed concern over the events, particularly regarding the reckless nature of Roseanna Bosch’s attempted escape. Some worry that incidents like these pose serious risks to both officers and bystanders.
Mesa County authorities have not released further details but indicated that an investigation into the full circumstances of the arrests remains ongoing. It is unclear if additional charges will be filed or if there are any prior criminal connections between the two suspects.
The GJPD continues to encourage the public to report suspicious activity, emphasizing that cooperation with law enforcement is crucial in maintaining public safety.
