## Resource

Colorado Springs PD made a high-stakes takedown Friday night, nabbing wanted suspect Mario Beltran after a tense chase near North Academy and Woodmen Road. Beltran, flagged by Metro RPM for retail and organized crime ties, fled the scene but was quickly subdued with a taser. He’s now booked in El Paso County Jail facing multiple charges — including fentanyl use that required hospitalization — and has active warrants from Denver, Pueblo, and El Paso County. This arrest underscores how law enforcement is closing in on individuals with deep criminal histories right in our own neighborhoods.
