Meagan Osgood’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad, Uber-Stealing Day

“A rather bizarre incident from over the weekend,” Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith wrote in a Facebook post about the arrest of Broomfield’s Meagan Osgood. And that’s as succinct a description as any about what went down. Osgood is accused of getting into a drunken fight, stealing an Uber driver’s car and being so obstinate to law enforcers that they eventually had to pepperball her.

Cory Gardner Town Hall in Denver to Go On Whether He Shows Up or Not

Senator Cory Gardner is among Republican lawmakers who thus far in 2017 haven’t scheduled any town hall meetings of the sort called for by his critics, who portray him as a virtual rubber stamp for President Trump even though he announced that he wouldn’t vote for The Donald last October. But Indivisible Front Range Resistance is among the groups that is staging a Gardner town hall in Denver tonight anyway (get details below), and Katie Farnan, one of the main organizers, says the event will go on whether the senator shows up or not.

David Cassidy: Partridge Family Temple Reacts to News of Its God’s Dementia

Actor David Cassidy, who’s best known for portraying heartthrob Keith Partridge on the 1970s sitcom The Partridge Family, has revealed that he is battling dementia. Most fans of Cassidy and the show have responded to this news with sadness about his condition and admiration for his bravery in sharing his struggles. But the most unusual reaction to date comes from Shaun Partridge, co-founder of the Partridge Family Temple, a highly unusual religious organization that worships Cassidy as the human incarnation of a god.

Activist: In Trump Age, Verbal Racism Aimed at Denver Kids of Color Is Rising

Donald Trump certainly didn’t invent racism. But since Trump’s election this past November, verbally racist attacks hurled at Denver kids of color are on the rise, sources tell Westword. Even before this week’s release of executive orders calling for tougher immigration enforcement, local children of Latino or African descent riding on buses, gathering in public spaces or even playing against white opponents in school-sanctioned sporting events were hearing hateful comments about deportation and more whether they’re U.S. citizens or not. Such remarks, from young and old alike, may have been whispered in the past, but now, they’re increasingly being announced loud and proud, as if the speakers feel empowered by the assumption that the nation’s president feels the same way they do.

Why CU Denver, Winter Park Won’t Let Their Ads Appear on Breitbart News

Breitbart News, the online spawning ground of Steve Bannon, a powerful adviser for President Donald Trump, is an alt-right outlet pilloried by critics for what they see as racism, sexism and the sort of vile invective spewed by Milo Yiannopoulos, who resigned from his gig as editor of Breitbart Tech yesterday after video surfaced of him defending sexual relationships between adult men and thirteen-year-old boys. It’s also the target of a Twitter campaign intended to convince advertisers not to support the site. But while the University of Colorado Denver and Winter Park ski area are among several Colorado enterprises to have removed Breitbart from their media plans, representatives of both say they’re not trying to make a political statement.

Anti-Topless Rule Stripped, All Nipples in Fort Collins Are Free

Since 2015, an organization now called Free the Nipple Fort Collins has fought to remove the words “the breast or breasts of a female” from the community’s public-indecency ordinance. Now, a federal judge has issued an injunction against the city over the rule on Constitutional grounds, essentially killing it.

Judge Disagrees That Child-Abusing Ex-Cop Jeremy Yachik Isn’t a Threat

Former Berthoud police officer Jeremy Yachik has been sentenced to 32 years in prison for two counts of child-sex abuse. He will serve sixteen years for each offense. His victims in these crimes have not been publicly identified, but Yachik made a statement in court that he is “very open to treatment, and very remorseful of past decisions that have affected my family…. I’m definitely not a threat to anyone.”

Why Colorado Tokers Love Pineapple Express

I was introduced to Pineapple Express as a movie, not a strain (that’s how young I am). Not one to buy into commercial hype, I stayed away from the strain in my early years of toking, always thinking it was a ploy to sell some less-than-stellar herb. But nearly nine years after the stoner-action flick came out, I thought it was safe to give it a try.

Colorado Cannabis Wedding Expo, for the Bride and Groom Who Like to Consume

After Bec Koop, a Denver-based florist, saw a need for green at some Colorado weddings, she wound up hosting Colorado Cannabis Wedding Expo events. Being able to bring together cannabis-friendly businesses to help couples plan their weddings was a dream come true, she says, standing in the mock-bridal suite of a showcase in Littleton on February 19. Still, she adds, there were some barriers to the business.

Bronco Emmanuel Sanders’s Wife, Gabriella, Calls Him a Cheating Horndog

Beneath the gorgeous and glamorous public image of Gabriella and Emmanuel Sanders roiled a marriage in deep trouble. This past October, Gabriella filed for divorce, and now, in court documents obtained by TMZ, she accuses Emmanuel of cheating on her multiple times, spending big on his conquests and lying to the Broncos about attending the birth of his child so that he could party instead of practice.
