In recent days, metro salons have been under assault, and not just from people upset that that the Chinese symbol they paid to have drawn on their nails looks like unidentifiable smegma.

It sounds like a tidy piece of inspirational fiction: A coke-snorting, booze-guzzling dropout squanders every opportunity in life, turns to armed robbery, burglary and sleazy telemarketing scams, spends much of his adult life behind bars as a self-proclaimed “worthless piece of shit” — then discovers the secrets of better living…
Earlier today, we told you about burglars wanted for nine attempted or actual robberies committed in Aurora over a seven-hour period between Sunday night and Monday morning, most of them targeting nail and hair salons.

One of the big-laugh-getting scenes in The Hangover, a movie that’s raked in more than $270 million thus far, features a kid using a taser to shoot Zach Galifianakis in the face — or, as Rob Riggle, playing a cop, puts it, “IN THE FACE!” But if the folks at…
Boulder isn’t free of serious law-breaking: As evidence, we submit the repulsive case of David McCoy, an amateur doctor and psychologist whose “trust-building exercises” allegedly involve medical examinations of certain areas generally kept private. But it’s reassuring that the Boulder Police Department is able to devote so much manpower to…
We’re about to start your day on a disturbing note. Apologies in advance. This is the way the Boulder Police Department tells the story: So… there’s this guy, David McCoy, who says he operates a media business called (ahem) Zeus Pegasus International, and he needs somebody to run camera for…
