Police say 33-year-old Evan E. Reichert of Denver stole a 2019 Chevrolet Suburban at the Vail Marriott Mountain Residences on Friday night, crashed into a fence behind the neighboring Ritz Carlton and ran back into the Marriott as officers chased him.
Police chief Dwight Henninger said hotel security helped keep everyone attending a Bravo! Vail music festival event in the ballroom in place and hotels guests in their rooms as officers searched the sold-out hotel for about two hours before finding Reichert.
It’s not known if he has an attorney.
