Colo. teen’s rampage: Ambulance theft, assault, lewd acts

Police found the suspect next to the crashed ambulance with a blanket and box of crackers

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Police reports indicate a Colorado State University student took cocaine and “molly” before stealing an ambulance and attacking deputies.

Stefan Sortland, 18, stole the ambulance while emergency crews were treating an intoxicated student for seizures at CSU, 7News Denver reports.

Police tracked the vehicle through its GPS and found it in the middle of the highway. The vehicle’s frontend had been crushed and it was leaking fluid onto the road. Sortland was standing in the road wearing an EMT vest and carrying a box of Wheat Thins.

After refusing to obey commands, police shot Sortland with a stun gun and took him to a Colorado jail where he “stood on a bench, kicked the wall, and masturbated,” according to the police report.

Sortland is also accused of attacking two deputies who brought him lunch while in custody. He faces charges of aggravated vehicle theft, obstructing EMS, reckless driving, hit-and-run, criminal mischief, attempted motor vehicle theft, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and criminal charges of assault for the jail incident.
