(Parker, Colo.) Parker Police officers apprehended an alleged thief while fleeing a local business early on March 1.
According to court documents, Taylor May, 28, was arrested on March 1 near the 11500 block of South Parker Road after a business owner called police about someone visible on security cameras inside her used car business.
Officers arrived at about 3:52 a.m. and observed an individual wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, a black gator-style face mask, gray pants, black shoes, and black gloves. The individual climbed out a window and ran south before police apprehended him.
After he was handcuffed, May attempted to flee again. He fell, hit his head, and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was cleared.
Officers found six sets of car keys with dealership tags on the man, later identified as May, a small pry bar, and a screwdriver. Investigators also found a vehicle code reader and a portable jump starter near the window where May had exited the building.
May faces charges of burglary from a building, possession of burglary tools, theft of items costing between $300-$1,000, and obstructing a peace officer.
He is scheduled to appear in court on March 10. He’s being held in the Douglas County Detention Facility on a $25,0000 bond.
“We appreciate the Parker business owner calling us so quickly,” the Parker Police Department said in a social media post showing body-worn camera footage of the suspect's arrest.
“Our fantastic partnership with the community is one of the reasons Parker is a great place to live, work and visit.”
