At least five patrol cars followed the John Deere tractor, with lights and sirens on, as it made swerved in and out of traffic, on the streets and on sidewalks.
"That's so crazy," a female can be heard saying off camera.
Just witnessed a police chase in downtown Denver. 20 cops trying to catch a tractor. Made me feel like I was back in Indiana.
