From CBI:
January 13, 2026 – CBI – Summit County, CO – The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is investigating the death of a 43-year-old male that occurred Monday afternoon following an encounter with the Dillon Keystone Police Department in Summit County.
The preliminary facts of the incident are as follows:
On the morning of Sunday, January 11, Dillon Keystone Police attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle being driven without a license plate. When asked for a driver's license and registration, the driver, a 43-year-old male, fled the scene in his vehicle. Officers did not pursue the vehicle.
On Monday, January 12, police located the suspect's vehicle parked at the Keystone Ski Resort. Officers were awaiting the opportunity to arrest the suspect, who had three outstanding warrants (two felony and one misdemeanor) in addition to the charge of eluding police from the previous morning.
The suspect was seen leaving the ski resort, subsequently abandoning the vehicle near Keystone employee housing.
The suspect was seen in the area of Employee Housing Apartment Complex “Sunrise” (65 Tennis Club Road(opens in new window)), approximately half a mile south, and was visually tracked by a police drone camera.
A police officer located the suspect hiding inside a random pick-up truck. At approximately 1:14:08 PM, officers ordered the suspect to exit the vehicle and surrender.
The suspect complied with the order, and was subsequently placed into handcuffs.
When asked at 1:15:33 PM if he had any injuries or needed medical attention, the suspect stated he did not.
Despite the denial, officers requested an ambulance due to the visible signs of medical distress. Officers also administered a dose of Narcan due to the belief the suspect may have been experiencing a drug overdose.
No physical force was used by officers against the suspect during the arrest.
The suspect was transported by ambulance to Common Spirit/St. Anthony Summit Hospital in Frisco, where he was later pronounced deceased by medical staff at 2:16 PM.
An autopsy will be performed by the Summit County Coroner's Office to determine the cause and manner of death.
The CBI investigation is active and ongoing. No additional information, including the identity of the deceased, will be released at this time. Information will be made available as the investigation progresses.
The Dillon Keystone Police Department is asking for the publics help with identifying this suspect who was last seen in the Keystone area this morning around 8:30 am. He is wanted for questioning in a trespass of a dwelling investigation.
