Overview

• Authorities say Phillip Lee Torres, 46, was arrested after deputies disabled a gray 2004 Chevy Silverado linked to the Amber Alert for his noncustodial 14-year-old son.
• Deputies reported Torres had cut off his ankle monitor while out on bond in an Adams County case involving serious child sex-assault and kidnapping charges.
• License-plate readers in Poncha Springs and calls from residents helped officers locate the truck before an attempted stop in the Salida area.
• A chase on Highways 50 and 285 reached speeds over 100 mph before stop sticks deflated the tires, and the boy was recovered uninjured.
• Torres was booked into the Chaffee County Detention Facility on the Adams County warrant and an additional $5,000 cash bond for new counts including vehicular eluding, child abuse, reckless endangerment, violating a protection order, reckless driving, speeding, and driving under restraint.
