Police arrest burglary suspect in southeast Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs police on Sunday caught and arrested a fleeing burglary suspect with the help of a drone unit, law enforcement officials said.

Officers responded to a 3:45 a.m. call about a burglary in the 4300 block of East Fountain Boulevard. The suspect reportedly used a crowbar to gain entry into the building.

A drone from CSPD’s Real-Time Crime Center arrived at the scene and was able to relay information about the suspect’s location, police said. When patrol officers arrived at the scene, the suspect ran.

With assistance from RTCC personnel, the officers caught Carson Johnson, 22, and took him into custody, police said. RTCC officers also found a duffel bag that Johnson allegedly ditched while he was running.

Johnson faces several charges including burglary and evading police.
