FORT COLLINS — A Colorado State University student was jailed on Sunday after he stole an ambulance from campus, fled to Loveland, crashed into at least one road sign and then defied an officer’s orders prompting them to deploy a Taser and take him into custody, arrest records show.

Poudre Valley Hospital EMS responded at 1:47 a.m. Sunday to Academic Village, 816 W. Pitkin Street, on the CSU campus for someone experiencing a medical emergency, hospital spokeswoman Kelly Tracer confirmed. The ambulance crew left the rig in a parking lot, and when they returned with the patient at 2:14 a.m., the ambulance was missing.

“Our ambulance is gone,” an EMT reported to dispatch.
