EL PASO COUNTY — The El Paso County Sheriff's Office responded to a barricaded suspect Saturday evening in the 14000 block of Clifford Dr in Peyton.

The Sheriff's Office said a Shelter in Place was put in effect from Curtis Rd east to Southfork Dr and from John Ross Court north to Falcon Highway.

The Sheriff's Office identified the suspect as 67-year-old Craig Jackson.
