COLORADO SPRINGS — A known felon has been apprehended after he ran from police and tried to hide from officers.

According to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD), Homeless Outreach Team Officers were addressing camping violations in Dorchester Park when they found two people with active warrants. 53-year-old Reginald Franklin was one of the suspects police identified as a felony parole violator.

He was taken into custody without further incident and transported to CJC on his felony warrant.
