A 22-year-old Fort Lupton police officer was arrested early Wednesday morning for allegedly kidnapping her boyfriend and forcing him at gunpoint to drive up Lookout Mountain.

During the ride, Amanda Renee Carter allegedly fired her gun into the dashboard of the car, but the 20-year-old man was not hurt, Wheat Ridge police said.

Once the couple reached Lookout Mountain, the boyfriend escaped and called police.

Carter faces charges of second-degree kidnapping/domestic violence, felony menacing, illegal discharge of a firearm, and reckless endangerment.

The incident allegedly began at a convenience store on W. 32nd Avenue and Youngfield in Wheat Ridge, where the two had stopped because Carter had become sick during a car ride, police said.

Carter is currently being held at the Jefferson County jail. She had been working at the Fort Lupton Police Department since February and has been suspended with pay pending Fort Lupton's investigation into this case.
