According to OPD’s account of event,s two OPD officers pulled over two people in a car last night around round 8:07 PM on 67th and Bancroft Avenues to cite them for a violation of the vehicle code. Coulter, dressed in black jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt, jumped out of the car and ran eastward on Bancroft Avenue. An unidentified OPD officer pursued Coulter, who produced a shotgun from his clothing and aimed it at the cop.
