If you’re going to drive drunk, the police chief is probably the last person you want to run into, but that’s what a man did on Sunday in Colorado.

Aurora police chief Art Acevedo was driving a black city vehicle when another vehicle crashed into him. The chief’s car was damaged, but he was still able to follow the suspect until Denver police officers could pull him over.

Miguel Ramirez is facing charges of DUI, leaving the scene of a crash, careless driving, and driving without a license.
