ASPEN — An Aspen man was sentenced Monday to two years in the state Department of Corrections for leading cops on a high-speed chase that sparked an intense manhunt punctuated by the enlistment of a police canine unit from El Jebel, a thermal sensor from the fire department, and one officer drawing a firearm. Mark Vandeleuv, 49, pleaded guilty to vehicular eluding, a class-five felony, in connection to a June 16 incident that occurred just before midnight. Then, Aspen police pulled him over in the westbound lane of Main Street near the Hickory House because of a defective brake light on the Ford Explorer he was driving. Officer David Rosselot noticed alcohol on Vandeleuv's breath, and “watery and bloodshot” eyes, according to an arrest warrant. But shortly after Rosselot returned to his patrol vehicle to run Vandeleuv's name through dispatch, the suspect took off. Officers knew Vandeleuv had been in trouble before. A day earlier, he posted a $7,500 bond to be freed from the Pitkin County Jail, where he'd in been in custody since March 13 on cocaine and criminal impersonation charges. His driver's license had been revoked as well. Read More. |
