Colorado’s Folsom Field was the final destination for a suspect of multiple hit-and-run crashes in Boulder on Thursday night.
According to a report from ESPN, police in Boulder say that they have arrested a man who crashed his blue pickup truck through a gate at Folsom Field and stopped near the 40-yard line on the visitor’s side.
Here are a couple of photos that have been shared on social media from the incident:

Per ESPN’s report, police responded to multiple reports of hit-and-run crashes approximately 1.5 miles away from Folsom Field on Thursday. After driving onto Folsom Field, the man reportedly got out of the truck and surrendered to police after a brief negotiation with officers.
The suspect, identified by police as Karl E. Haglund of Massachusetts, will face charges that include leaving a scene of a crash after damage, criminal attempt vehicular assault, reckless endangerment, driving without insurance and trespassing.
Judging by the photos, it appears the stunt did result in some damage to Colorado’s playing field. The Buffs are on the road at Colorado State this weekend, so maintenance crews will have more than a week to fix the damage caused by this incident. Colorado hosts Baylor in Week 4.
Colorado will try to get back in the win column on Saturday night against Colorado State at 7:30 p.m. ET.
