CSPD arrests two after investigation of alleged domestic violence

(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) said a call for domestic violence assault involving a knife led to the arrest of two suspects in the morning hours of Wednesday, Sept. 25.

According to CSPD, on Wednesday at around 10:45 a.m. officers were called to the area of Colorado Avenue and South 25th Street about a domestic violence assault incident involving a knife.

Police arrived on the scene and developed probable cause to arrest one of the suspects, identified as 21-year-old Ethan McGowen, for alleged Assault in the Second Degree and Menacing, both felony charges.

As officers began their search for McGowen, who had left the area, they eventually found a man who matched McGowen’s description and was walking in the same direction as he was last seen traveling. When officers tried to detain the man, he ran from officers.

After a short struggle, during which an officer suffered a minor injury, the suspect, identified as 24-year-old Orion Luke, was taken into custody on several outstanding warrants, and according to CSPD, was related to the initial domestic violence investigation.

McGowen was later found by officers and taken into custody without incident.
