A man was arrested in Colorado Springs on May 2 after allegedly crashing a stolen vehicle on Interstate 25 while eluding law enforcement, then carjacking a second vehicle, according to CSPD officials.

Christopher Esquivel, 30, faces several felony and misdemeanor charges in connection with the incident, police said.

Colorado State Patrol officers had been chasing Esquivel — who was driving a vehicle that had been stolen in Colorado Springs in late April — on I-25 near Castle Rock, but did not catch him, police said.

Just before 6 a.m., the suspect crashed that vehicle on the interstate near Monument and fled the scene on foot until he found a motorist sitting in his truck in the 1700 block of Jackson Creek Parkway. Esquivel allegedly took that vehicle at gunpoint.

At about 10:45 a.m., officers from CSPD’s Motor Vehicle Theft and Tactical Enforcement teams spotted the stolen truck in the 3600 block of Austin Bluffs Parkway, near Academy Boulevard.

When they approached the vehicle Esquivel tried to run, but was quickly caught, police said.
