(PUEBLO, Colo.) — A 49-year-old man was arrested on charges of burglary and ID theft after a member of janitorial staff reportedly helped subdue him until police could arrive on Monday, Sept. 16. Courtesy: Pueblo Police Department According to the Pueblo Police Department (PPD), officers responded to the 1500 block of East Abriendo Avenue, near I-25, around 7 p.m. Monday, after janitorial staff reported hearing glass break and footsteps. They saw a suspect, later identified as 49-year-old Michael Romero, inside the building. Janitorial staff tried to keep Romero inside the building and chased him. They briefly detained him, but he escaped, according to PPD. Police Chief Chris Noeller arrived at the scene and took Romero into custody.
