Reaching new heights will not always keep someone out of handcuffs.

The incident unfolded just after midnight in the 2600 block of Vinewood Lane in Pueblo, police said, according to local KKTV.
The suspect was being chased on foot when officers lost sight of him. He allegedly jumped a couple of fences and hid near a bush before officers looked up and spotted him.
