A security breach at Cheyenne Mountain Air Station in Colorado put authorities on high alert Friday afternoon. At 2 p.m. a man was arrested by the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office after military police detained a man near the visitor center. According to the sheriff’s office, the man was arrested and taken to the Criminal Justice Center because he was wanted on several warrants. At 3:30 p.m., in an unrelated incident, military police began searching for a second man who also breached a security checkpoint. According to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, the man was asked to leave but refused. Military police somehow lost contact with him and a massive manhunt began. The Colorado Springs Police Department used its helicopter to search by air, and the Sheriff’s Office used K-9’s to search on foot. NORAD Road, which leads to the air station and a nearby neighborhood, was shut down during the search. Source: [1] http://www.krdo.com/Global/story.asp?S=8962501
