Andrew Jenkins is suspected of burglary, police said.
At about 5 p.m. Tuesday, an officer was driving on the 1800 block of East Fountain Boulevard on his way to a service call when he saw a man running in the middle of the street. The man appeared to be calling for help, but when the officer stopped, the man took off running again, according to the report.
With the officer chasing him, the man ran into a stranger’s house but was quickly pushed back out, police said. The officer caught up with Jenkins, and tried to arrest him. During the struggle, the officer used his Taser, but Jenkins got away long enough to break into a car, police reported.
A 69-year-old man who sexually assaulted at least two boys in his Colorado Springs neighborhood sometimes drugging his victim was sentenced Friday to 624 years in prison.
Joseph Lee Davis was convicted in July of 20 counts at a six-day trial in 4th Judicial District Court, including child sex assault and manufacturing child pornography, court records show.
Judge Jessica Curtis imposed the lengthy sentence after ruling that prosecutors had proved Davis had multiple prior felony convictions, including for prior attacks on children, making him a habitual offender subject to tripled penalties.
“Over the course of more than 20 years, the defendant groomed, manipulated, threatened, and molested children from his neighborhood and extended family,” the District Attorney’s Office said in a written statement Sunday.
