According to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office (PCSO), 30-year-old Neal Helmbrecht was wanted in connection to a home invasio
n in Trinidad in March, and was sought on a fugitive of justice warrant by the Trinidad Police Department. PCSO said the warrant included several felony charges, one of which was attempted second degree murder.
Helmbrecht was located at an apartment on Norman Lane in the City of Pueblo around 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, and was taken into custody without incident by PCSO Special Investigations and Narcotics detectives and members of the U.S. Marshals Violent Task Force.
“This is another example of the great partnership we have in working with the U.S. Marshals Task Force to seek out, apprehend and arrest wanted fugitives,” said Pueblo County Sheriff David J. Lucero. “Given the seriousness of this suspect’s crimes, I am glad that this suspect was arrested safely and without incident.”
Helmbrecht was arrested for attempted second degree murder, second degree assault, first degree burglary, robbery and a protection order violation. He was booked into the Pueblo County Jail.
