(PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo.) — The suspect arrested on Monday, May 26, after a high-speed chase on I-25 and for an alleged kidnapping, is facing new charges from an unrelated incident that happened in Lakewood, Colorado, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO).
PCSO said on Monday, deputies were called to a robbery at the Circle K in northern Colorado City, just off I-25. While deputies responded, they learned the suspect left the scene in a 2020 grey Ford Escape, and around that same time, learned of a kidnapping report where the victim’s vehicle matched the description of the Ford Escape and information pointed to the victim being in the area.
A deputy later located the car and attempted to pull it over, but the driver sped away from the deputy, starting a chase that ended in Huerfano County north of Walsenburg. Deputies arrested the driver, identified as 28-year-old Shane McSwane; the kidnapping victim was shaken and emotionally distraught but uninjured.
Deputies learned McSwane had allegedly carjacked the woman on Sunday night, May 25, in Aurora, and said he then drove the woman against her will for nearly four hours, going as far south as the town of Aguilar.
