On 6/14, Keenesburg Officers received a Flock alert for a stolen vehicle in town. Officers located the suspect vehicle on I-76 and called a few friends to help out.

Before those officers could arrive, the suspect, Mr. Simon Schaepe, noticed our patrol car following him and decided he wasn't interested in discussing the matter.

Mr. Schaepe drove onto property owned by Gutterson Ranch and attempted to flee from officers, who gave pursuit. Mr. Schaepe successfully rolled the stolen vehicle and then attempted to continue his escape on foot.

One of our quick-thinking officers threatened to release a police dog if Mr. Schaepe continued to run. Apparently not wanting to become a chew toy, Mr. Schaepe quickly reconsidered his options and surrendered.

Fun fact: There were no K9 units on scene.

Mr. Schaepe was taken into custody and transported to the Weld County Jail on felony charges of Vehicular Eluding and Motor Vehicle Theft.

On 6/16, Keenesburg Officers were conducting speed enforcement on WCR 49 when they observed a vehicle traveling 84 mph in a 65 mph zone.

As officers began catching up to the vehicle, the driver noticed them and apparently decided to try the old "turn down a dirt road and pretend I live here" strategy.

Unfortunately for the driver, officers were familiar with this game and followed him into the driveway.

Officers contacted the driver, who provided a name that returned no records. Using a fingerprint scanner, officers learned the driver was being a little less than honest about his identity and was actually Mr. Aiverson Pacheco-Devia.

Officers also discovered Mr. Pacheco-Devia had several warrants for his arrest as well as someone else's credit card in his possession.

Mr. Pacheco-Devia was taken to jail on his warrants and picked up a few new charges along the way.

On 6/18, Keenesburg Officers found a vehicle traveling 100 mph on I-76 eastbound.

Officers caught up to the vehicle expecting to find a Mario Andretti impersonator. Instead, they found Mr. Manuel Gomora-Mota in the driver's seat, who appeared completely unaware that he was traveling at excessive speeds.

Officers decided Mr. Gomora-Mota's inattentiveness warranted an appointment with a judge.

On 6/19, Keenesburg Officers noticed a vehicle making a left turn out of a right-turn-only lane onto WCR 18 from North Market Street.

Thinking this was a little odd, officers decided to speak with the driver about his lane selection.

After officers attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver increased his speed and treated officers to an unsolicited two-mile tour of WCR 18 before stopping suddenly near WCR 51.

Officers contacted Mr. David Shannon and quickly developed probable cause to believe alcohol may have played a role in his driving decisions. Mr. Shannon was also found to be carrying a concealed firearm while intoxicated.

After attempting roadside maneuvers, Mr. Shannon was taken into custody for Vehicular Eluding, DUI, Prohibited Use of a Weapon, and Careless Driving.

To ensure Mr. Shannon did not continue driving drunk, officers graciously provided him transportation to the Weld County Jail.
