Apache Junction police identified the officer who was shot and wounded while investigating a stolen vehicle Tuesday as Brian Brugman. Brugman, 29, is in stable condition after undergoing surgery late Tuesday at Mountain Vista Medical Center in Mesa, according to a news release Wednesday from Apache Junction Police Department. "We are told he is awake and alert this morning," the release stated. Brugman has been a member of the department for a little more than 4 years and was promoted to motorcycle officer in January. Police found a stolen truck earlier this week at a Bank of America, officials said Tuesday. The vehicle fled and officers followed, but the pursuit was stopped for public safety concerns, according to department spokesperson Marshall Harshman.
