COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A man with multiple outstanding warrants is now under arrest.

Colorado Springs police say Michael Joseph Plassmeyer was driving a stolen vehicle when a police officer saw him run two red lights.

Police tried to stop him, but the suspect refused. He continued to drive, entering I-25 on the wrong direction.

The pursuit ended when the suspect's vehicle rolled over. The driver attempted to flee on foot, but police were able to stop him and take him into custody.

The investigation revealed Plassmeyer was driving a stolen car. He had been fleeing bail bond agents before CSPD became involved.

Plassmeyer had numerous outstanding warrants, including warrants for charges of Sexual Assault, Felony Menacing, Vehicular Eluding and Assault.
