PUEBLO — Officers with the Pueblo Police Department were sent to a reported kidnapping in Pueblo around 3:54 a.m. Thursday morning on the city's east side along East 12th Street near Spann School Park.
Officers were told 33-year-old Stevie Flores had allegedly kidnapped his ex-girlfriend before leaving in his vehicle.
Police say the ex-girlfriend's family called saying they were concerned for her safety.
Officers were able to locate the car, but Flores made his way northbound on I-25, as officers pursued the car. This led to a multi-jurisdiction response after the nearly 40-mile chase.
Flores was finally stopped on Las Vegas St in Colorado Springs after the Pueblo Police Department contacted the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, Fountain Police Department, and Colorado State Patrol for assistance.
Flores was taken into custody and transported to the Pueblo County Detention Center. The ex-girlfriend was taken back to Pueblo, safely.
As of now, this is what Flores has been charged with:
- 2nd Degree Kidnapping
- Domestic Violence
- Vehicular Eluding
- Reckless Endangerment
- Reckless Driving
- Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance
- warrants for Criminal Impersonation- Cause Liability, and Failure to Appear.
Pueblo police say that this information is preliminary, and the situation may change following further review.
