COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - A pursuit from law enforcement led to a crash, according to viewer video.

Just before 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon, a suspect fled Colorado Springs police officers near East Bijou Street and North Circle Drive, according to police.

The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) said the pursuit ended a short distance away at East Bijou Street and North Academy Boulevard. CSPD said officers attempted to deploy a grappler, which is a device that grabs ahold of a vehicle's tire, but it malfunctioned.

Video from viewers appears to show the pursuit ending in a crash near a major intersection off Academy.

Police say Jeremy Mondragon was taken into custody. According to El Paso County arrest reports, he was charged with first-degree possession of contraband, vehicular eluding, parole violation, reckless driving, duty to report accidents, and driving under restraint.
