In the early hours, Pueblo County Sheriff’s deputies demonstrated exceptional vigilance, swiftly intercepting two burglary suspects at a property just east of Pueblo's boundary, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office. The arrests followed a call about a burglary in progress around 1 a.m., in the 1800 block of S. La Crosse Avenue, where an RV owner had observed a man breaking into his trailer on a security camera before taking down the device.
Deputies arrived at the scene within a mere 9 minutes of the reported call and witnessed two suspects fleeing through a fortified property deputies chased them issuing demands to halt, though the suspects paid no heed, eventually, Deputy Steven Griego, aged 36, was promptly apprehended while his counterpart Deyon Jaramillo, 31, attempted to vanish into the cover of nearby brush, but was not long out of sight before capture. The quickly unfolding events led to the recovery of multiple items, including the earlier dismantled security camera believed to have been pilfered from the property's RV.
Further inspection by the deputies unveiled signs of forced entry to several other RVs stationed on the property, raising suspicions that additional thefts might be uncovered pending contact with the respective owners. The extent of property damage or loss remains unclear until those individuals have been reached for a full inventory and assessment of their possessions.
The two men now face an array of charges, as stated by the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office, Jaramillo, a Denver resident, was arrested on suspicions of second-degree burglary, among other charges like theft, resisting arrest, engaging in criminal mischief and he is being processed on a fugitive warrant, while Griego's encounter with the law concluded with his arrest for several offenses including second-degree burglary and resisting arrest, not to mention the three outstanding warrants to his name; the situation remains dynamic as the investigation perseveres, potentially leading to additional charges being levied against the two individuals in custody.
