Officers with the Colorado Springs Police Department reported that a man without clothing was behaving in a disoriented and unpredictable manner at a business located on Academy Boulevard. The man then obtained the keys to a vehicle belonging to that business and left the scene in it.
Rather than traveling with the flow of traffic, the man steered the stolen vehicle in the wrong direction along Academy Boulevard, which prompted officers to pursue him. The chase was short-lived, concluding when the vehicle came to a crash on Austin Bluffs Parkway.
Details regarding the timing of the incident, whether anyone sustained injuries, what charges may be pending, and the current status of any individuals involved had not been made available in the sourced reporting at the time of publication. Springs Daily will update this brief as the Colorado Springs Police Department releases further information.
