A public affairs officer for the Rocky Mountain National Park said at about 8 p.m. that the park’s east side from Highway 36/Spur 66 to the Beaver Meadows Entrance is closed due to the ongoing law enforcement “incident and investigation.”

Police said they were looking for a white male, approximately 5 foot, 9 inches tall, weighing 165 pounds, bald, wearing blue jeans and no shirt or shoes. He was last seen fleeing from his vehicle in RMNP south of the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center on Highway 36 toward High Drive.
