A man wanted in Pennsylvania in connection with a 2024 homicide is now in custody in Colorado after a late-morning traffic stop on northbound Interstate 25 near Castle Pines.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation says agents arrested 46-year-old Anthony Joseph Kistle just before 11 a.m. during the stop, describing the takedown as handled without incident and offering thanks to the agencies that helped. Beyond that, officials are keeping the public details pretty lean for now.
According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Kistle was wanted in Pennsylvania in connection with a 2024 homicide case. The bureau said the arrest happened during a traffic stop on northbound I-25 near Castle Pines and publicly thanked the Colorado State Patrol, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, and the Pennsylvania State Police for their assistance. The post did not list specific charges or add further context.
Arrest and Agency Response
So far, local authorities have not released a detailed play-by-play of how the stop unfolded or whether there were any tense moments before Kistle was taken into custody. The Colorado State Patrol oversees patrol operations on major highways such as I-25, and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office runs a newsroom that typically posts updates on local law enforcement activity. The Pennsylvania State Police, also credited in CBI's post, lists media contacts for out-of-state questions through their public information portal.
What Comes Next
If Pennsylvania moves to have Kistle returned to face a homicide case there, the two states would use the standard extradition process, which generally involves a formal request from the state seeking custody, a governor's warrant, and a short holding period while the paperwork is processed. Federal law requires the requesting state to submit an indictment or affidavit and limits what courts can review on the receiving end, and those procedures are outlined in 18 U.S.C. § 3182 as published by Cornell Law School.
For now, the CBI's brief social media post is still the main on-the-record account of the arrest. Officials have not yet released charging documents, extradition filings, or a detailed timeline. We will continue to track updates from state and local agencies and will update this report if more information about the charges, court proceedings, or transfer plans becomes public.
