Deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office jailed a man for multiple crimes following a traffic stop on Thursday.

A DCSO report said at 9:20 a.m. a deputy stopped a sportscar for a traffic violation in the 2600 block of Glendale Valley Road near Glendale.  The deputy contacted the driver and was going to detain him for failure to carry and present a license. 44-year old Mark Kolberg allegedly refused to be placed into handcuffs and took off running.

The report said the deputy chased him and deployed a taser, ultimately taking the suspect into custody. Kolberg was reportedly in possession of a firearm in his waistband. A large amount of suspected methamphetamine was allegedly located in the man’s vehicle.

The suspect allegedly lied about his name but was ultimately identified as Kolberg. He is not legally allowed to possess firearms and had an active arrest warrant. After he was taken into custody, a search warrant was obtained and served on the vehicle. Another gun and residue of drugs were allegedly located in the vehicle.

Kolberg was charged with attempting to elude police on foot, third-degree escape, unlawful possession/concealment of firearms, two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, providing false information to a police officer, and for unlawful possession and delivery of meth. He was detained without bail.
