(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) arrested a man who allegedly damaged a patrol cruiser after a domestic violence disturbance.

On Sunday, June 8, at around 10:19 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 7200 block of Rising Moon Drive, off Centennial Boulevard, in reference to an active domestic violence disturbance, where the suspect was threatening to shoot himself. Upon arrival, officers contacted the victim and learned the suspect was inside the home alone and the children were at a neighbor’s house.

After an investigation, probable cause was established for the suspect, 36-year-old Charlie Wetzel, who was still inside the home. During the original altercation, police say it was possible Wetzel cut his arm with a piece of glass and threatened to shoot himself.

Officers set up containment on the home, and a CSPD K9 and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) officer were called to assist. The UAV officer was able to locate the suspect in a bedroom and see that he was “somewhat responsive.” A K9 officer then gave warnings to the suspect from the front door.

The suspect exited the home and was taken into custody. While being escorted to a police car, he began to resist and bang his head on the side of the cruiser, causing damage.

He was taken to the hospital, medically cleared, and booked into the Criminal Justice Center.
