Police Chase Ends In Crash In NW OKC, Possible Armed Robbery Suspect Arrested

A suspect possibly connected to a drive-by shooting and armed robbery in Oklahoma City was caught on Tuesday after a chase with police.

The driver crashed out in the parking lot of a business near NW 10th and Meridian Avenue.

Police said Inocente Cossio, 23, was driving a white SUV and had a male passenger. Officer later arrested Cossio and found a gun in the SUV.

It was the end of the day for employees at a freight and hauling business when security cameras caught the end of a pursuit.

Cossio fled from police during a traffic stop moments before the chase.

“They attempted to pull over a vehicle that matched the description of a previous armed robbery and drive-by shooting,” said Sgt. Brad Gilmore, Oklahoma City Police Department.

The brief pursuit took several dramatic and dangerous turns, including one that could have come to an explosive end as the SUV barely missed hitting two large diesel tanks.

Without anywhere to go, Cossio's attempt to run from the law came to a crashing end.

“The pursuit ended in the 700 block of North Virginia when the driver crashed into a fence,” Gilmore said.

Employees at the business said they have never witnessed a police pursuit on their property.

One of the witnesses recorded video of the passenger surrendering and officers drawing their guns, not knowing what Cassio would do.

Police said Cossio was arrested without incident and no one was hurt.

Cossio was booked into the Oklahoma County jail on a number of charges. The case will soon go to the Oklahoma County district attorney’s office.
