• A grand tax lien for Grand Lux Cafe

    The Grand Lux Cafe at 8401 Park Meadows Drive is big -- big concept, big menu, big space. And now, according to a court filing, it has a big bill due at the state: Colorado has hit the restaurant in Arapahoe County with a $16,014 tax lien for failure to pay unemployment. But otherwise, it's business as usual at the big Park Meadows restaurant. And is a meal at Grand Lux grand? Not so much, Jason Sheehan reported in this review of Grand Lux.

• Men wanted for taking medical marijuana without prescription

  Banana, a strain of marijuana prized for its pain relief. Even as Arapahoe County officials go beyond the call of duty in their efforts to bust Brian Wayne Coplen, who's wanted for allegedly running a marijuana grow-house in Bennett, representatives of the Boulder Police Department are questioning four men in connection with a robbery at a facility where pot is sold legally -- to patients whose medical needs are on record with the state marijuana registry. Confused? So are the marijuana laws in

• Another video masturbator wanted for oversharing in a big way

  A sketch of an indecent-exposure suspect. Three similar incidents in a short period of time are said to constitute a trend -- but two is close enough, particularly when it comes to high-tech indecent exposure. To whit: On June 3, according to the Parker Police Department, a man used a laptop or portable DVD player to show two girls a video of him doing nasty things to himself. Now, the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office is seeking a man wanted for subjecting several young women to a masturbation

• Operation Dead-Beat Parent sweeps up almost half of top child-support avoiders

  "If I win, I hope to hell he pays child support."​One reason so many parents skip out on child support after a divorce: Given how overburdened the system is, there's seldom anyone in authority to make them keep the money train rolling. In an attempt to change that equation, the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office just conducted what it's calling Operation Dead-Beat Parents. ACSO representatives targeted the top 25 biggest child-support scofflaws in its jurisdiction -- and lo and behold, twel

• Lawsuit over medical marijuana dispensary closure in Centennial hits court Friday

  Photo by Robert Fisher​Denver's attempts to get a handle on the medical marijuana issue, typified by yesterday's eventful safety committee hearing, show the importance of municipalities establishing clear rules of the road for such operations. A repeat of this lesson may well be in the offing tomorrow in Arapahoe County Court. That's when a lawsuit filed on behalf of CannaMart, a dispensary that was shut down by Centennial despite it having a valid business license. Centennial has forbid
