DENVER (KDVR) — A man wanted out of Weld County on a felony warrant for multiple charges was arrested Friday afternoon in Aurora after leading police on a chase into the metro area.
Samuel Reed, 44, was reportedly located and arrested at about 1:35 p.m. on Friday after a coordinated effort by the Greeley Police Department, Aurora Police Department and Colorado State Patrol that involved ground units and aerial support.
Reed was wanted on a felony warrant out of Weld County for multiple charges that include second-degree burglary, third-degree assault and harassment with a domestic violence enhancer. CSP reported that Reed was on parole for child abuse and under a protection order for manufacturing a controlled substance in the presence of a child.
The Greeley Police Department first contacted the Colorado State Patrol for assistance on Friday. The agency shared that the suspect was driving a 2017 Subaru WRX and was considered armed and dangerous. The Greeley Police Department said that Reed had made threats to harm law enforcement and to engage in “suicide by cop.”
Near the intersection of 136th Avenue and Interstate 25, troopers saw the suspect and attempted to use the grappler system, which is a system designed to catch the back end of a suspect vehicle and bring it to a controlled stop. However, the action was unsuccessful, CSP reported.
A CSP aircraft located the suspect and tracked the vehicle to the area of East 11th Avenue and Jamaica Street in Aurora. There, the Aurora Police Department assisted CSP troopers with the arrest and Reed was taken to the Adams County jail without further incident.
CSP said that further charges could be pending as the case is investigated. Reed is scheduled to appear in court for a bond hearing on Sunday and to appear for a return filing of charges on Oct. 9.
