City police search turnsup wanted suspect
Englewood Police officers Eric Lutz and Sam Ayers carried out
their assignment to track down and arrest a local resident with at

learned the man might be staying in a trailer at the rear of a home
in the 4700 block of South Delaware Street.
The officers followed up on the information and, at about 1:45
a.m. located the 28-year-old suspect inside the trailer and

Apartment trespasser nabbed at scene of crimes
Englewood police located and arrested a man suspected of
breaking into several area apartments.
A resident called police about 7 a.m. March 5 when she came home
from walking her dog and found a man she didn’t know in her
apartment.
Police checked the apartment buildings in the 3500 block of
South Delaware Street and saw the suspect in a ground floor
apartment of a nearby building where, it turned out, he lived.
Police knocked on the door and, according to the report, the
suspect barricaded the door with a chair and went out a rear
window. However, officers took precautions and surrounded the
building and arrested the 34-year-old man as he crawled out the
window.

two apartments March 5 and attempted to break into a third
apartment the night before.
Nothing appeared to be taken in the break-ins. The suspect was
taken to Arapahoe County jail where he could face charges of
