The reporting party and General Manager, Eric Schleeter (DOB */*/*), stated that he'd received a notification for alarms on the premises and when he'd checked the cameras, he saw motion in one of the lots. The car lots were secured from public access by fencing and access control gates. When deputies arrived, they found the northwest facing gate to the property was pushed inward. Deputy Shane Stevens drove his patrol vehicle to the northwest facing gate opening and blocked the entrance/exit. Deputy Andrew Whinery noticed the south facing gate was also open and a concrete block had been moved to create an opening. Deputy Dallas Dobbs joined Deputy Stevens at his patrol vehicle, and they began to give verbal commands over the vehicle's PA system into the Copart lot. A gray Toyota Tundra bearing fictious Texas license plate NYM-* with an attached enclosed trailer (Colorado license plate AGH-V72) exited through the northwest facing gate, accelerated, and rammed Deputy Stevens' patrol car, which was blocking the exit. The Tundra with attached trailer successfully maneuvered past Deputy Stevens' patrol car and fled the area.
