Two suspects believed to be driving a car reported stolen in Summit County led the Colorado State Patrol on a more than 100-mile car chase Monday morning, spanning multiple jurisdictions from the town of Vail into Moffat County, where they were taken into custody.
Police allege that along the way, the suspects attempted to carjack someone near the town of Rifle, and that the passenger in the stolen vehicle at one point reached out his window and fired two rounds from a handgun.
Patricia Rae Stead-Pacheco, 31, of Denver, and Jose Munoz-Jara, 19, are both in custody in the Moffat County Detention Facility.
Eric Nastri.
EAGLE Eric Nastri on Wednesday was sentenced to 30 days in jail and ordered to pay $156,833 restitution to the town of Vail for his role in a scheme that prosecutors say stole nearly $855,000 from the town from 2012 to 2018.
Prosecutors alleged that Nastri, 55, of Denver, was a friend and accomplice who helped the town’s former IT director, Ron Braden, circumvent the town’s normal bidding and contracting processes to steal the money, allowing Braden to steer contracts for IT work to companies Nastri owned or worked for.
Nastri would keep 12.91% of the money sent to his companies and send the rest of the money to Colorado Technology Convergence, a company that Braden owned. Braden would would hire contractors to complete the IT work for the town, but also keep money for himself in the process, prosecutors alleged.
