GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — Grand Junction Police Department arrested a man Tuesday morning after he fled from law enforcement the day before.
GJPD said in a press release around 9:30 a.m., Monday, officers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle in the 2700 Block of Highway 6 and 50. When officers contacted the driver, he allegedly held the scene and drove into oncoming traffic, eluding law enforcement.
The next day, the officers arrested Lakota Lamb, 24, when they responded to the area of Connected Lakes to help a Colorado Parks and Wildlife officer who allegedly found Lamb with a gun in his possession. After arriving on the scene, law enforcement identified the 24-year-old as the suspect who evaded police, according to GJPD. He was taken into custody without incident.
Lamb, who was remanded to Mesa County Detention Facility, was booked and charged with vehicular eluding, obstructing a peace officer, reckless driving and other related charges. He also had an active warrant.
“This is believed to be an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public. This is an ongoing investigation and there is no further information at this time,” according to GJPD.
