\n

A male suspect allegedly stole a fire truck parked outside a Colorado<\/a> jail early Wednesday morning, just moments after being released from custody, according to the Boulder Police Department (BPD).<\/p>\n

Officials said the chaotic incident quickly triggered a multi-agency pursuit, prompting officers to deploy tire-deflation devices along a highway before the situation escalated into a brief foot chase outside of Denver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Authorities identified him as 33-year-old Richmond Takashi Johnson, who they said has an “extensive criminal history.” He had originally been booked on third-degree trespassing charges prior to the alleged theft of the emergency vehicle.<\/p>\n

The incident ultimately caused significant damage<\/span> to the fire rescue engine and multiple responding vehicles from the Boulder County Sheriff\u2019s Office, authorities said. An officer also sustained minor injuries during the pursuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the BPD, Johnson was first taken into custody around midnight after officers received reports of a man “trying to open the doors of cars and homes” in a residential neighborhood around 11:30 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following his release around 3:30 a.m., in accordance with Colorado statute, fire rescue crews arrived shortly thereafter in response to an unrelated medical call.<\/p>\n

While crews were inside the jail booking lobby treating a patient, Johnson allegedly entered the fire engine and drove roughly one mile before being spotted by Boulder County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies, along with Boulder police.<\/p>\n

Johnson allegedly continued driving and refused to stop for law<\/span> enforcement, eventually reaching a major interstate roughly 10 miles to the east.<\/p>\n

Police from<\/a> the nearby suburb of Longmont were then called in to assist, deploying stop sticks<\/span> at at least three locations along the highway.<\/p>\n

Johnson subsequently lost control of the truck after its tires deflated and fled on foot<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“He then jumped out of Engine 143 and ran away,” police said. “Within minutes he was arrested by Boulder County Sheriff\u2019s deputies and Longmont Police officers<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

“Thankfully there were no serious injuries to any first responders or community members, however, a Boulder County Sheriff\u2019s deputy sustained a minor injury from the foot pursuit of the suspect,” the department added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnson was not injured during his arrest.<\/p>\n

The Boulder Fire-Rescue Engine 143, one of the city\u2019s electric RTX engines, reportedly sustained significant damage and is being assessed by the city\u2019s fleet division.<\/p>\n

Two Boulder County Sheriff\u2019s Office vehicles also sustained major damage, while another sheriff\u2019s unit suffered minor damage.<\/p>\n

Johnson now faces nine new charges, including obstructing a peace officer, firefighter, emergency medical service provider, rescue specialist or volunteer; two counts of felony motor vehicle theft; resisting arrest; reckless driving; felony criminal mischief<\/a> involving damage to city property; felony vehicular eluding; reckless endangerment; and driving after revocation prohibited<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
