Colorado: Driver who hit Denver police officer pleads guilty to felony counts

Christopher Booker, who hid his medical condition to get a driver's license and later drove into a group of Denver police officers, pleaded guilty to two felony charges Thursday.

As part of an agreement, Booker, 42, pleaded guilty to one count of vehicular assault and attempting to influence a public servant, both felonies. Prosecutors will drop the 14 other charges filed against Booker, including forgery and assault.

Booker faces a sentencing range of probation to up to nine years in prison.

On Dec. 3, Booker drove into a group of four Denver police officers during an East High School student protest along East Colfax Avenue near Williams Street. One of the students who witnessed the crash told The Denver Post he saw Booker convulsing in his car after striking the officers.
