Castle Rock police arrest suspect in violent Denver carjacking - The Denver Post

Castle Rock police on Tuesday morning arrested a 35-year-old man suspected of stabbing a motorist during a Denver carjacking, according to Denver police. The suspect, Joshua Lane, was arrested as he slept in the stolen vehicle in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven store at 80 Plum Creek Parkway. Castle Rock police commander Jason Lyons told 7News that police were told not to use their sirens when approaching the truck so they wouldn't wake the suspect and could maintain the element of surprise. Police say the suspect stole the truck — a black, 2006 four-door Toyota Tacoma — on the 900 block of South Broadway on Monday. Police said the victim was walking to his pickup when he saw a man apparently casing vehicles in the garage and confronted him. The suspect stabbed the victim and stole his truck. The final persuit, which started about 4:30 p. m. , ended after a patrol was involved in a crash with two vehicles near Alameda and South Moline, Aurora police told 7News.
