Man Arrested While Driving With AK-47

A man is behind bars after a scary couple of moments in Colorado Springs.

A woman contacted CSPD Thursday morning and said her ex-husband was armed with an AK-47 and threatened to kill her and her daughter.

Officers tried to pull-over the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Stephen Lakey, at a parking lot on the southeast side of the city.

Lakey refused and reportedly showed the cops his gun in a threatening gesture.

Lakey then discarded his firearm out of his window and eventually gave himself up.

He’s been charged with multiple counts of felony menacing.
