On Tuesday, the FBI Safe Streets Unit, in partnership with detectives from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Department and the Colorado Springs Police Department’s Violent Offender Fugitive Task Force, successfully located and arrested 24-year-old Jahlique Dorsey.

Dorsey was identified as a suspect in an armed robbery and was considered to be armed and dangerous.

Dorsey has two previous criminal convictions in the state of Colorado. He was involved in a 2022 robbery and menacing case in El Paso County, which is still open. Dorsey was scheduled to receive a sentence as part of a plea in February but failed to appear. He is set for a review hearing on Friday.

The other case is from 2019 and involved a theft in Jefferson County. Dorsey pleaded down to a misdemeanor theft charge estimated between $750-$2,000 and was sentenced to 18 months of probation.

Detectives were able to track Dorsey to a residence located in the 200 block of Vehr Drive on the eastern side of Colorado Springs. From there Detective Johnson requested assistance from the Tactical Enforcement Unit tactical teams, Unmanned Aerial Unit officers and Colorado Springs police K-9 officers in performing an arrest.

At 11 a.m., Detective Johnson directed units to the area to make contact. Dorsey fled into the surrounding neighborhood when he saw law enforcement approach.

He was located while attempting to flee by Officer Bryce who then tracked his moments and reported Dorsey jumping over several privacy fences and eventually attempting to seek cover in the heavy foliage.

Police K-9 Milo was deployed by Officer Comstock who led detectives and officers to Dorsey, who had attempted to hide between two fences within the bushes.

Springs police reported that once Dorsey realized he had been located by Milo, he called out to the officers and expressed his intention to surrender. He was taken into custody without incident and was handed over to detectives.
