COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers have arrested a man following a disturbance at a birthday party early Saturday morning.

Officers were called to a home near 31st Street and Kiowa in the city around 2:10 a.m. in response to a man who was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a shotgun in the neighborhood.

Police said the suspect, Michael Lucero, had caused a disturbance during a birthday party at his ex-girlfriend's house.
