DENVER – The Adams County Sheriff’s Office is trying to locate a driver who allegedly tried to hit a deputy Wednesday morning.

The deputy had attempted to stop a vehicle in a parking lot near 58th and Broadway around 4:20 a.m. but when the deputy approached, the driver sped toward the deputy, officials said.
