COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers arrested a man early Friday morning for fleeing after they tried pulling him over, then found he had heroin on him.

An officer tried pulling over 22-year-old Justin Inouye around 6:11 a.m. near East Fountain Boulevard and Murray Boulevard for an expired temporary license plate tag.

Inouye sped off, and officers found the car abandoned a short time later.
