Monroe County Deputies have charged a Pittsford man with robbery, burglary and assault after a deputy was injured early Sunday morning.

23 year old Colby Reed was arraigned in Pittsford Town Court and pleaded not guilty. Authorities say a deputy was trying to stop a vehicle from leaving a home at 6 Brook Road in Pittsford.

Deputies were called to the home at about 4:30 am for a suspicious vehicle in the driveway.

When deputies arrived, they reported hearing noises coming from inside a detached garage at 7 Brook Road.

Officials say Reed  tried to run away and was chased behind homes in the neighborhood, then back to his pickup truck. That’s when the deputy was struck by the vehicle and fired two shots into the windshield.

Reed was  not injured. The deputy was taken to Rochester General Hospital with what are described as minor injuries. His name was not released.
