Man allegedly becomes combative with police during arrest attempt in Colorado Springs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – Springs police say they had to use force after a suspect became aggressive while being taken into custody.
Officers had been called to the area of North Union and Lelaray late Sunday morning on reports of that suspect trespassing at a business.
“[He] had previously verbally assaulted employees of the business,” a CSPD lieutenant said.
The police department has not named the business, only that it was in the 1700 block of North Union.
The man was still in the area when police got on scene, but when officers tried contacting him, they say things quickly went south.
“He became argumentative, physically aggressive, and non-compliant with officers,” the lieutenant said. “Physical force was ultimately utilized to detain the subject.”
Police say neither the suspect or the officer trying to arrest him were hurt. The suspect is facing several suspects and remains in the El Paso County Jail Monday morning. He’s been identified by police as Adam Borges.
