Pueblo Crime Beat: Teen facing charges following alcohol-related accident

Jul. 7--A 19-year-old Pueblo male is facing felony charges in connection with a single-vehicle accident with multiple injuries in which speed and alcohol are considered to be factors.

At 2:39 a.m. on July 3, a 1998 Lincoln Town Car, driven by Isaiah Sprague, 19, and containing four occupants, was traveling at a high rate of speed in the area of Interstate 25 and Abriendo Avenue when the accident occurred.

Police said Sprague, believed to be intoxicated, was driving at speeds in the neighborhood of 85 miles per hour.

With the vehicle running off the highway, all five occupants were injured.

A 19-year-old female sustained rib and back fractures and a collapsed lung. A 17-year-old female suffered face and neck abrasions, and police said she was fortunate to escape with just that.

A 15-year-old male sustained scalp lacerations and a bruised lung, and Sprague was treated for unspecified injuries.

The most seriously injured was a 17-year-old male, who was transported to Denver for medical treatment.

As firearms and ammunition were in plain view inside the vehicle, a search warrant will be authored as the investigation continues.

Burglary

The burglary of a home in the 800 block of East Second Street was costly for the homeowner, according to a report from Monday.

In addition to $10,000 worth of jewelry, music recording equipment ($500) and designer sunglasses and shoes ($550) were taken, with $500 damage done to a door and frame.
