Boulder police ask for public help to identify assault suspect
Boulder police are investigating an assault which took place on May 11, 2013, at 12:53 a.m. The incident occurred in the area of Broadway and Walnut as a group of four females and one male were walking together on Broadway. One of the females was injured during the altercation.
This goofball allegedly sent a young to the hospital after attacking her on the corner of Walnut and B’way. He may have been drinking.
Witnesses say an unknown male, who was smoking in front of the Walnut Brewery, made inappropriate remarks about the women and began following the group as he continued to yell obscenities at them. The male in the group told police that he told the suspect to walk away and leave them alone.
The 21-year-old female victim says the suspect then flicked a lit cigarette towards her, hitting her in the face. The suspect then grabbed the victim by her shirt collar and threw her into a cement business sign at the corner of Broadway and Walnut. The victim suffered facial injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment.
The male friend and the male suspect then began fighting with each other. One of the other women in the group was able to take a photo of the suspect with her cell phone before the suspect fled the scene.
Police have been working to identify the suspect through various leads, but have been unable to establish a positive identification. A photo of the suspect is attached, and investigators ask anyone with information about him to contact the Boulder Police Department.
The case number is 13-6128.

Boulder police arrest suspect in attempted murder case
Aug 4th
Police in Boulder have arrested a 27-year-old man on suspicion of attempted second-degree murder after a 28-year-old male victim was attacked early this morning in the University Hill area.
Jeffrey Carter Neering (DOB 7/27/1984) is suspected of cutting the throat of Jason Patrick Chilson of Denver, who was in Boulder to visit friends. Witnesses told police that an altercation took place between Neering and a friend of the victim at K’s China restaurant, located at 1325 Broadway, sometime after 2:00 a.m. Restaurant employees broke up the altercation and told everyone to leave.
After they left the restaurant, Chilson and his two friends were walking near The Goose when a man — believed to be Neering — jumped on Chilson’s back and cut his throat. Chilson’s friend was trying to defend him when bouncers from The Goose intervened and broke everyone apart. Neering then ran away.
Witnesses at K’s China identified Neering and told investigators that he was a regular at the restaurant. Police attempted to contact Neering at his last known address; however he was no longer living there. Police located Neering later Thursday morning at an apartment Neering had vacated some time ago. He had broken into it and spent the night there. Neering will be charged with first-degree criminal trespass in addition to the other charge mentioned above.
Neering has been positively identified by the victim and the witnesses involved in this case. He is in custody at the Boulder County Jail and his bond was set at $250,000.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective Ruth Christopher at 303-441-1850.
