CSPD: Man wanted on several felony warrants arrested in Colorado Springs
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — On Thursday, May 29, the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) had a standoff with a wanted man near downtown Colorado Springs.
CSPD said on Thursday, at around 6:30 p.m., the Violent Offender Fugitive Task Force was attempting to find a wanted person, identified as David Dean, in the 700 block of East Moreno Avenue near Wahsatch Avenue and East Costilla Street.
According to police, Dean had seven felony warrants for his arrest. Detectives saw Dean in the front yard of a nearby home, and while waiting for additional resources, Dean went inside the home.
With help from the Tactical Enforcement Unit and K9, detectives attempted to have Dean exit; instead, multiple people, including children, left the home, but Dean refused to leave. A search warrant for the home was obtained, but the suspect continued to refuse to leave the home.
Police later used a drone and EOD robot to check the interior of the home, but were unable to find Dean.
CSPD said chemical munitions were used by TEU officers, and Dean eventually surrendered. He was medically cleared on the scene and booked into the El Paso County Jail.
