CSPD: Car theft suspect tased, arrested after chase
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — A man was tased and arrested Friday, May 9, after fleeing from officers who had tracked down the stolen car he was driving, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD).
CSPD reported that on Wednesday, May 7, members of the Motor Vehicle Theft (MVT) unit found a stolen Chevy Tracker in the area of Drennan Road and Drennan Industrial Loop North, near Astrozon Boulevard and South Academy Boulevard. A K9 unit tried to stop the driver, later identified as 30-year-old Joshua Cody James Davis, but Davis accelerated and got away from the marked police vehicle.
According to CSPD, on Friday, May 9, around 4:15 p.m., MVT investigators learned that Davis had a felony warrant for arrest for a robbery probation violation. They tracked Davis and the stolen vehicle down at a T.J. Maxx, in the 3800 block of Bloomington Street, near North Carefree Circle and North Powers Boulevard, where he had parked and gone into the store.
When Davis came out of the store and returned to the stolen vehicle, he encountered detectives and tactical officers who ordered him to surrender, according to CSPD. Davis ran from law enforcement, and after several warnings, he was tased and surrendered.
Davis was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries, then to the Criminal Justice Center and charged with motor vehicle theft, vehicular eluding, and obstructing a peace officer.
