COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers have arrested a registered sex offender suspected of giving a woman an earful and an eyeful.

The incident occurred in the 3000 block of West Colorado Avenue near 30th Street early Wednesday morning.

A woman called to tell police she was confronted by a man who made lewd comments toward her and then exposed himself.

The man then left the area on foot.

Officers responding to the call found a man matching the suspect's description only six blocks away, but when officers tried to approach, he fled.

The suspect led police on a brief chase, but he was eventually caught.

At first, police said the man would not cooperate and refused to give his name.

After finally giving in and offering officers his real name, they found he was a registered sex offender.

The suspect, 30-year-old Augustine Archuleta, was positively identified by the victim as the man that had exposed himself to her.

Police arrested Archuleta, and he was booked for criminal impersonation, indecent exposure and obstructing a police officer.
