Saturday, October 5th, shortly before 10:00 pm, #DCSO deputies assisted the Colorado State Patrol in looking for a suspect who had fled from a crash on C-470 involving a stolen vehicle. Around the same time, dispatch received a call from a resident on Falcon Hills Drive in Highlands Ranch about a suspicious person in the area knocking on doors. The description matched the person seen fleeing from the crash. It was also relayed that a handgun was located in the stolen vehicle.
Deputies searched the area and located the suspect hiding in the back of a pickup parked in the driveway of a house on Falcon Hills Drive. The owner of the truck did not know the suspect and did not give him permission to be in his vehicle. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the jail, where he faces multiple charges, including trespass and obstruction of a peace officer. He is also being held on two felony warrants out of other counties. This is still an open investigation, and no other information will be released at this time.
