FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: May 21, 2010 Time: 8:00pm

The Colorado State Patrol Communications Center in Pueblo received a traffic complaint at 5:26 pm on May 21, 2010, concerning a white Ford pick-up that was driving in an erratic manner. The pick-up was northbound on I-25 at MP 155, in El Paso County. The complaint was reported by an ICE Agent, in an unmarked police vehicle. Due to the nature of the driving actions the ICE Agent attempted to contact the vehicle using emergency lights and siren. The pick-up failed to stop and was followed northbound on I-25, to the Castle Rock Area.

The driver of the vehicle called the Douglas County 9-1-1 Center, and informed the call-taker that he was not going to stop until a marked police unit arrived. Shortly after, a Douglas County Deputy arrived and the vehicle was stopped without incident.

Upon arrival of Colorado State Patrol Troopers the driver of the pick-up was arrested for the investigation of Driving Under the Influence. The driver of the pick-up has been identified as Mr. Troy Dejean, 31, of Denver.


The Colorado State Patrol would like to remind you to dial *CSP from any mobile phone, to report erratic and dangerous driving behaviors.
