TELLER COUNTY, Colo. — A man who was wanted for an alleged domestic violence incident in Teller County was seriously injured after he crashed in Summit County.
According to the Teller County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to the Pikes Peak Regional Hospital around 4 a.m. after a woman was injured during an alleged domestic violence incident. When deputies arrived, they learned the woman was seriously injured and the suspect — identified as 51-year-old Mark Lewis Tuckel — was a previous felony offender who may possibly have a firearm.
