On August 10, 2013, at approximately 9:30 AM, Sterling Police Officers investigated a Burglary at 502 S. Division Avenue in Sterling. During the investigation, officers identified a suspect and determined he was at the residence located next door at 508 S. Division Avenue. The suspect was identified as Sean Pearce, 46 years of age, of Sterling, whom officers also confirmed had a felony warrant for his arrest.
During the attempt to contact Mr. Pearce at 508 S. Division Avenue, he barricaded himself in the attic of the residence. All the occupants of the home were safely removed and only Mr. Pearce remained inside the residence.
Sterling Police made repeated attempts to communicate with Mr. Pearce. Mr. Pearce did not respond or comply with demands to come out of the attic and as a result, Pepper Spray (OC) was introduced into the attic. Ultimately the suspect complied with orders given by police and was removed through an attic window. Mr. Pearce was subsequently taken into custody without further incident.
Mr. Pearce was arrested on the following charges:
⦁ Second Degree Burglary, a class 4 Felony
⦁ Theft, a class 5 Felony
⦁ Obstructing a Peace Officer, a class 2 Misdemeanor
⦁ Theft by Receiving Warrant
