FedEx truck stolen, crashes after pursuit in Douglas County; suspect in custody



Deputies pursued a stolen FedEx truck in Castle Pines on Friday afternoon, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said.
The truck was stolen in the 2900 block of South Galapago Street in Englewood.
Englewood police said the FedEx delivery driver walked out of The Shootist at 2980 South Galapago Street at 10:55 a.m. and, "He saw a male sitting in the driver's seat of the Fed Ex vehicle, which had the keys inside. After a brief exchange of words, the suspect drove away in the FedEx vehicle," a police statement said.
Douglas County Sheriff Chief Deputy Steven Johnson said the FedEx truck's driver was robbed at knife point. The driver then surrendered the truck.

Law enforcement was notified and they tracked the vehicle using GPS. Johnson said one law enforcement vehicle was rammed.
Deputies used stop sticks to attempt to slow the vehicle twice; they worked during the second attempt. The vehicle slowed while the driver continued to try to elude authorities.
The truck eventually crashed off northbound Interstate 25 near Castle Rock Parkway.
The suspect took off on foot, but was later captured and taken into custody, the sheriff's office said.
The pursuit lasted more than 20 miles.
“It had been taken from the FedEx driver at knife point," Chief Deputy Steve Johnson with the Douglas County Sheriff's office said.
After the truck was stolen in Englewood, it took GPS, multiple accidents, and disturbances on the highway before authorities caught the guy in Castle Rock.
“In come more officers and more officers, I mean like 20 cars coming in,” a witness said.
The suspect ended up crashing into a field, but not before he zoomed through a neighborhood.
“My first thought was man that guy is going really fast hopefully he’s bringing me my package," a witness said. “Then I realized, hey, that’s not really what’s going on.”
Everyone is OK and the scene cleared early Friday evening.
“Just really, just kind of shook me up,” the witness said.
The investigation is still ongoing.

The Foods You Need to Avoid to Keep Your Skin Clear

It's not necessarily greasy foods that are the culprits. It was an old wives’ tale worthy of medical research. Researchers managed to prove way back in 1969 that your chocolate noshing wasn’t causing you to break out, and that was a relief. In fact, science has since proven that certain foods can get rid of your acne. But that’s not to say that said old wives weren’t on to  something  because what you eat really does make a detrimental difference when it comes to your complexion,  according to Men’s Health. A study  published in the  Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics ventured to figure out exactly what the problematic pimple-causing foods were. The research involved two groups of 32 participants; one group had clear skin, the other had moderate-to-severe acne. Each group was asked to complete a five-day food diary and then get blood work done. Of all the participants, 61 percent believed that their diets were affect...

Ida Lundgren and Bianca Van Damme Could Easily Kick Your Butt!

If there were ever two fathers whose daughters would be genetically programmed to kick butt, those would be Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren – two of the most badass actors-slash-martial-artists of our time. They have both taught their little daughters how to defend themselves and look fantastic while doing it. Let’s look at Dolph and Ida first Just like Dolph’s character in Rocky IV, Ivan Drago, his 21-year-old daughter Ida was asked to show off her amazing skills on the boxing ring as well. And, boy, did she deliver! In this photoshoot for Muscle&Fitness, Dolph is probably showing Ida some secret moves and teaches her about the weak spots and how important the footwork is. Maybe he even told her how to beat Sylvester Stallone. Or maybe I’m imagining thing. These days Ida is an aspiring young model, but she’s got a long way to go to be as popular as her dad. She may look like a frail girl most of the time, but don’t let her cute looks fool you! Ida can and...
