COLORADO SPRINGS — Three Fort Carson soldiers trapped themselves during a burglary-gone-bad at a medical marijuana dispensary in southeast Colorado Springs early Saturday, police said.

Darius Thomas, 23; Cory Young, 22; and Ramone Hollins, 22, were arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary at Rocky Road Remedies, 2489 S. Academy Blvd., near the intersection with Astrozon Boulevard.

Police say the trio forced open a back door sometime before 2 a.m.

When the door closed, however, the lock re-engaged and left the men unable to get out the way they came in, said Colorado Springs police Sgt. Jennifer Lewis.

Officer Alan Vantland spotted the men inside after arriving to check on a complaint at a neighboring business, police said.
