RIO BLANCO COUNTY, Colo. — Three people are in custody, including a juvenile who was reported missing out of Mesa County, following a pursuit early Thursday morning.
At about 5 a.m., Rio Blanco County Sheriff's Office (RBCSO) was notified of a dark blue 2010 Ford F150 with no visible plate traveling southbound on Highway 13, according to RBCSO.
The notification, which came from Moffat County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) and Colorado State Patrol (CSP), stated that the truck drove away from an attempted stop by Craig Police Department (CPD), RBCSO said in a release.
The pickup passed through Meeker and an RBCSO deputy followed the suspect vehicle along Highway 13 toward Rifle, according to the release.
The suspect vehicle stopped at about mile post 9 and two suspects got out and ran into the nearby brush, RBCSO said. A third occupant in the pickup was taken into custody, according to the sheriff's office.
With assistance from MCSO, a K9 search found the two suspects who left the scene after an hour of searching in muddy and extremely cold conditions, RBCSO said.
According to the sheriff's office, the F150 was reported stolen out of Mesa County.
