Hit-and-run suspect drives onto CU’s Folsom Field

A suspect in a hit-and-run crash was arrested Thursday night after driving his truck onto the playing field at Colorado’s Folsom Field.

According to police in Boulder, Colorado, the incident occurred off campus, about 1.5 miles away from the stadium. The suspect fled the scene and drove into Folsom Field, stopping the truck near the 40-yard line, along the visitors’ sideline. Photos of the shirtless suspect and the truck circulated on social media.

At 7:23 p.m., University of Colorado police issued an emergency alert, noting heavy police presence at Folsom Field and instructing people to avoid the area. About 30 minutes later, Boulder police announced that the suspect was in custody and there was no longer a threat in the area.

No one on campus was injured following the incident, a university spokesman told ESPN.

Colorado’s football team visits Colorado State on Saturday before returning to Folsom Field on Sept. 21 to face Baylor.
