Arriving officers learned the circumstances possibly involved identity theft or financial fraud in which people were attempting to purchase phones at an AT&T store, Jaeger said.

Officers tried to make contact with two of the suspects exiting the store, but the pair entered a vehicle where two other people were already inside, Jaeger said.

The vehicle backed up into one of the officers, who was transported to a hospital for minor injuries and has since been released, he said.

All four people in the vehicle, two men and two women, were arrested without incident at the scene. Jaeger said police were not immediately releasing for what crimes they were arrested.
