Update below: The Denver District Attorney’s Office has announced that it’s solved four cold cases: the murders of a quartet of women between 1979 and 1988. The slayer: Vincent Groves, who may be the most prolific serial killer in the state’s history…
U.S. Attorney John Walsh says his seizure-threat letters to medical marijuana dispensaries near schools are intended to protect kids. But in Englewood, it appears that minors are much more likely to get illegal intoxicants from bars, restaurants and liquor stores than MMCs…
In a post yesterday, we noted that the University of Colorado banned Nerf guns as well as the real kind. Now that the Colorado Supreme Court has deemed the latter rule unconstitutional, will foam find a home on campus, too? One of our readers has some ideas about that, and…
At least one of Dennis Foust’s neighbors sees him as a loving and caring son who went to extremes to care for his elderly mother. But the Colorado Springs Police Department thinks otherwise — maybe because the woman, age 86, was found lying on the floor in her own filth…
While most of us live on a budget that prevents us from spending thousands on medical marijuana each week, there are apparently a few patients with lots of disposable income to throw around. Budtenders I’ve spoken with talk about people coming in regularly to buy ounces of hash oil and…
Lately, Tim Tebow has been rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood crowd, attending the Vanity Fair Oscar party and reportedly going on a dinner date with Taylor Swift. But while he recently signed with the William Morris talent agency, he’s just turned down the opportunity to star in a hit TV…
David Tarver has admittedly been molesting children — most prominently his own — since the late 1980s, at least. Fortunately, that will stop, thanks to a just-imposed sentence of 88 years to life in prison. But no doubt the horrible offenses detailed in the arrest affidavit will linger for a…
Today is the last in a seven-day “surge” being conducted in Aurora by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Their supposed target? Deportable aliens who have been arrested, or those issued court summonses who are fugitives or who have been previously deported or convicted of crimes. It’s the summonses part that’s causing…
Nearly twenty years after Denver’s much-hyped “Summer of Violence” triggered a harsher approach to juvenile offenders statewide, lawmakers are wrestling with two reform bills — and a new report contends that Colorado’s system for moving juvenile cases into adult court isn’t working and doesn’t provide adequate protection for teen defendants…
The Thunderdome, the original kitchen and symbol of Occupy Denver, has launched no shortage of projects since a frequent police presence encouraged its members to distance themselves from the organization in November. Along with a weekly radio show and the ongoing construction of three mobile food carts, the Thunderdome has…
Denver blog posts melt in your mouth, not in your hands. Mile High Report guest poster DrBroncoFan shares a factoid from Tim Tebow’s Las Vegas church appearance that’s flown under the radar: He worked out with ESPN’s Steve Young this past Friday. Denver Infill’s Ken Schroeppel shares Union Station update…
In a 1965 civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, African-Americans and other minority citizens secured the right to vote. To honor their efforts, Colorado Democratic lawmakers, faith leaders and march veterans are urging citizens to utilize their voting rights by participating in tonight’s Democratic Caucus. But they are…
A plastic patio wall doesn’t seem capable of containing anyone who really wants to tear through it — especially someone with a knife. But what if there’s a fence on the other side? That’s the situation in which Robert Engles found himself after allegedly deciding he’d rather split than pay…
Yesterday, we told you about the medical-marijuana-related responsible vendors bill. And while the measure, which is about to face its first committee test, has garnered less attention than, for instance, MMJ banking and THC driving standards proposals, it’s got some high-profile advocates, including Sensible Colorado’s Brian Vicente. Why does he…
Patricia Calhoun’s post about the great press garnered by John Hickenlooper nationally — including his name surfacing as a possible vice-presidential candidate — didn’t convince one reader, who’s a bit lukewarm about the governor’s idiosyncrasies. Here’s his take…
In case you’re not following Wilson Chandler’s Twitter account, hoping for some clue about where and when he will play basketball again, he’s “packin” this morning, getting ready to hit the road again. Considering the Nuggets are the only team Chandler can sign with this season, it makes one wonder…
Update below: It’s Super Tuesday, with voters in ten states choosing among Mitt Romney, Rick Santorium, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul for a Republican presidential candidate. And whoever wins the nomination is apt to use controversial Department of Energy loans to alternative energy companies as a talking point in the…
Ever disappointed that 4/20 only comes once a year? Then Miguel Lopez, organizer of Denver’s annual 4/20 rally, has good news for you. Because April 20 falls on a Friday this year, the rally has been expanded to two days, with a full slate of happenings scheduled to take place…
The Colorado Supreme Court ruling to allow people with concealed-carry permits to possess guns on University of Colorado campuses will necessitate a major philosophical shift among CU officials. Case in point: Just over two years ago, CU Boulder expanded its weapons ban to include Nerf guns…
When does an armed robbery earn a gunman 224 years in prison? When the person who committed the crime not only tried to take a shot at a cop, but is subsequently deemed a habitual criminal, thereby multiplying the sentence in a big way. Which is precisely what happened to…
After having seen their new ad campaign, you could be forgiven if you figured that Fancy Tiger Clothing and the Buffalo Exchange hated each other. After all, the two boutiques — which moved onto the same block of South Broadway in January and now throw joint events — have produced…
Scene and herd: Disney is shooting part of a remake of The Lone Ranger — starring Johnny Depp as Tonto — in Colorado this month and is holding casting calls for odd-looking extras. But the casting agency hasn’t requested an animal to play the part of the Lone Ranger’s horse,…
