A wanted felon died this Monday soon after he was arrested by Dillon Keystone Police Department.
Colorado Bureau of Investigations reports the 43-year-old man fled a traffic stop Sunday, Jan. 11. Police tracked him down again Monday to a parking lot at Keystone, where they “were awaiting the opportunity to arrest the suspect.”
The suspect fled again, the CBI reports, ditching his vehicle and hiding from cops in a pickup truck at the Sunrise employee apartments off U.S. Highway 6. Cops surrounded the vehicle, and soon after he peacefully surrendered.
Barely a minute later, when police asked if he had injuries or needed medical attention, the suspect said he did not.
“Despite the denial, officers requested an ambulance due to the visible signs of medical distress,” the CBI report reads. “Officers also administered a dose of Narcan due to the belief the suspect may have been experiencing a drug overdose.”
The man was rushed to St. Anthony’s Summit Hospital. Barely an hour after surrendering he died there, the CBI confirms.
Cause of death is pending autopsy through Summit County coroner. The coroner and CBI have declined to identify him, except to confirm he had three outstanding warrants, including two felonies.
