In June, I wrote about Darrell Havens, the paralyzed car thief whose medical parole was canceled after Arvada police chief Don Wick complained. A month later, the situation appears no closer to a resolution…
Heads up, producers of The Daily Show. Last night, Channel 31 reported a story about the theft of 150 garden gnomes that’s ready-made for your particular brand of satire. Only flaw? The Fox 31 crew isn’t as good at keeping a straight face as are Jon Stewart and company…
Zona’s Tamales, 713 E. 26th Avenue, has won two Best of Denver awards, including a 2002 nod for Best Pig’s Ears — a “novel sandwich” in which the ears are “cooked until tender (except for that crunchy cartilage) and slathered with mustard and onions.” Our staff found the results criminally…

We recently told you about alleged arsonist Walter Bond, who authorities believe was responsible for burning down Glendale’s Sheepskin Factory and two businesses in Salt Lake City, including a restaurant that served foie gras.

One of the most uncomfortable responsibilities for municipalities these days is to inform the citizenry that a sexually violent predator has come to town.

Update below: The arrest of Michael Tesman on charges of second-degree kidnapping came together like the law-enforcement equivalent of aligning planets. Credit goes to the reported victim, Tesman’s ex-wife, who was able to text message her son about the situation, plus a helpful bartender and a timely zap from a…
You knew this one was coming. Following gunplay on 18th Avenue, Filberto Alderete was arrested for killing Jesus Sifuentes Jr. — but he was subsequently cleared under the Make My Day law. Likewise, the police shooting of Daniel Alderete at the same location was ruled justifiable by the Denver District…
Walter Bond doesn’t exactly hide his convictions when it comes to animal rights. Law-enforcement types note that he has “a prominent tattoo on his neck just below his chin that reads, ‘VEGAN.'” However, Bond is accused of doing more than simply sticking to salads. He’s been formally charged with setting…

Last November, the death of Brittney Brashers, a 22-year-old Air Force veteran, seemed like a tragic accident. She was supposedly at the wheel when she drunkenly crashed into two parked cars — and while her passenger, Robert Walters, sustained only minor injuries, she was killed. Now, however, Walters has been…
The search for twelve-year old Greeley resident Kayleah Wilson ended in May with tragic news compounded by shock when prosecutors accused eighteen-year-old Robert Montoya with having a sexual relationship with her. Today, Montoya’s attorney tried to convince a judge to lower the teen’s bail, insisting that his client had nothing…
The Make My Day law is getting a workout lately. Hot on the heels of Filberto Alderete being cleared in the death of Jesus Sifuentes Jr., word surfaced about a South Williams Street shooting in which a man turned a robber’s gun against him. Now we know the name of…
Update below: The day after Filberto Alderete was cleared in the death of Jesse Sifuentes Jr., who was allegedly trying to force his way into Alderete’s 18th Avenue house, and mere weeks after no charges were filed against a homeowner in the Marcus Duran killing, we learn about another potential…
Yesterday, we let you know that Vicente Solorzano, a suspect in an Aurora double shooting, had previously been swept up in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid targeting “transnational gangs with ties to drug-trafficking organizations.” The latest: Solorzano has turned himself in and is currently the subject of an ICE…
Alleged wrong-way drunk driver Betsy Long, a onetime green-biz entrepreneur, faces vehicular homicide charges and more in a July 5 crash that killed Mary Warren, a 22-year old bound for the Peace Corps.
