A man who robbed a Colorado Springs bank in 2019 and reportedly yelled “Merry Christmas” while throwing the stolen money into the air was arrested in Teller County Friday after a brief chase, officials said.
David Oliver, 66, faces multiple charges, including felony menacing, possession of a gun, and driving under the influence, according to a news release.
A Teller County deputy saw a Ford Expedition without license plates on Loy Creek Road east of Woodland Park and signaled for the driver to pull over, the release said. When the SUV stopped about a mile later on Rampart Range Road, the driver rolled down the window and reportedly said, “I’ve got a gun and I'm not going back to jail.” The driver then showed a handgun before driving away with the deputy in pursuit, the sheriff’s office said.
