1 arrested after threatening, chasing man with a gun, Colorado Springs police say
Colorado Springs police on Monday arrested a man who allegedly brandished a firearm and chased another man through an apartment complex, according to an online blotter entry.
Isaiah Thompson, 29, faces charges of felony menacing and unlawful possession of a weapon by a previous offender, police said.
At about 9 p.m. Monday, officers responded to a call about a disturbance involving a handgun at an apartment complex in the 800 block of Oxford Lane, near South 8th Street and Cheyenne Boulevard in the Broadmoor area. When they arrived, the victim told them the incident started as an altercation between two residents. The confrontation reportedly escalated when Thompson threatened to assault the other resident, then went to his car to retrieve a gun.
The victim said Thompson, armed with a handgun, chased him through the apartment complex before eventually going into a nearby apartment. After finding the apartment, officers contacted Thompson, who admitted to the altercation but denied having a gun, police said.
After obtaining a search warrant, officers entered the apartment, where they found a stolen firearm before arresting Thompson.
No injuries were reported in connection with the incident.
