Boulder police are searching for a woman who reportedly pepper-sprayed an officer on Tuesday evening.

According to a news release, police were called to the Safeway at 3325 30th 28th St. at 6 p.m. Tuesday after witnesses reported that a woman was harassing people with pepper spray.

The woman left the area, but an officer later found her at Vic’s Coffee, 3305 30th St. When the officer tried to talk to her, she became agitated and aggressive, then used pepper spray on the officer, police said.

She then fled on foot, and officers were not able to find her.

The officer who was sprayed was taken to Boulder Community Health’s Foothills Hospital, where he was treated and released.

The woman was described as a white female in her mid-20s with long brown hair. At the time of the incident, she was wearing a green shirt and yoga pants.

The officer had a body camera on during the interaction, and police have released images obtained from that camera.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call Boulder police Detective Heather Frey at 303-441-3369. Those who wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or nococrimestoppers.com.
