Two suspects believed to be driving a car reported stolen in Summit County led the Colorado State Patrol on a more than 100-mile car chase Monday morning, spanning multiple jurisdictions from the town of Vail into Moffat County, where they were taken into custody.
Police allege that along the way, the suspects attempted to carjack someone near the town of Rifle, and that the passenger in the stolen vehicle at one point reached out his window and fired two rounds from a handgun.
Patricia Rae Stead-Pacheco, 31, of Denver, and Jose Munoz-Jara, 19, are both in custody in the Moffat County Detention Facility.

EAGLE COUNTY The party starts now.
For the fourth time, the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships will be held on American soil. For the third time, skiing’s biannual celebration of its best and brightest will be held in the Vail Valley. The 2015 edition of the Championships promises to be the biggest event yet held in the valley.
This year’s two-week event was years in the making, requiring more than $50 million in fundraising and sponsorships. That money has gone into an extravaganza that will be featured on live TV around the world, with the time difference between Colorado and central Europe allowing prime-time coverage there.

Pastor Tim Wilbanks, President of the Vail Religious Foundation, on Monday announced the members of the volunteer advisory committee that will steer fundraising efforts related to the Vail Interfaith Chapel’s $10 million 50th Anniversary Capital Campaign.
“This volunteer committee supports restoring and maintaining our beloved Chapel, and values it as one of Vail’s cultural and historic centers,” Wilbanks said. “We are so grateful for their support, not only financially but with their time and energy over these next two years.”
Vail Pioneer Rod Slifer was one of the first to volunteer to help the chapel. Slifer brokered the land deal in the late 1960s when the original chapel building was built.

A man who found himself temporarily pinned under a Vail bus on Friday night was treated for non-life threatening injuries, according to town of Vail officials.
Vail Police and Vail Fire responded to the incident on Vail Valley Drive near the Meadow Drive intersection, closing the roads temporarily at around 10 p.m. on Friday.
Witness Philippe Hartley didn’t observe the incident that caused the man to be stuck under the bus, only the aftermath of first responders attempting to remove him.
“The technician, as they were pulling him out, asked ’Does it hurt anywhere’ and I heard the fellow say ’No, I’m not hurting anywhere,’” Hartley said. “So the question is – why was he pinned under the bus?”
