Homeland Security pops smuggler, 55 lbs. of reefer at Boulder airport
0February 1, 2012
Suspected drug smuggler arrested by Boulder County Drug Task Force
Not a terrorist threat, say feds
A pilot flying a small, single-engine plane was arrested on Saturday, Jan. 28, at Boulder Municipal Airport after the Boulder County Drug Task Force found approximately 55 pounds of marijuana on the plane.
Carl Gruber (DOB 8/09/1966) was arrested on suspicion of Possession and Possession with Intent to Distribute (between 5 – 100 lbs.). He is from Bethel Island, CA.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requested the assistance of the Boulder Police Department and the Boulder County Drug Task Force on Saturday. DHS had been tracking the plane and contacted local authorities when it landed at Boulder Municipal Airport. Any questions about why DHS was monitoring the plane should be directed to the Department of Homeland Security.
Although DHS is involved in the investigation (and has impounded the plane), there was never an issue of any immediate danger to the community. The Boulder Police Department would have notified the public if there had been a concern; this has been a narcotics investigation from the beginning.
Leslie Nielsen, who starred in Airplane and Naked Gun, was a favorite of movie-watching potheads.
As this is an open and ongoing investigation, the Boulder County Drug Task Force and the Boulder Police Department will not be releasing further information about this case.
Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Boulder Police Department’s Tip Line at 303-441-1974 or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776.

Suspects using stolen credit cards caught on security footage
Boulder police are trying to identify the male and female in the attached photos. Police believe the two were using a stolen credit card to make purchases at the King Soopers store located at 1650 30th St. in Boulder
The credit card was among items reported stolen from a vehicle in the 2800 block of Springdale Lane on Dec. 22. The victim had parked his vehicle around 9:00 p.m. on Dec. 21. When he returned to the vehicle the next morning, he found that the vehicle’s passenger window had been smashed. The suspect or suspects took the credit card, electronics and cash. 
Police are looking for the male and female captured on security video from King Soopers. Both suspects are white. The male was wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, a dark baseball cap and was carrying a red backpack. The female was wearing a white jacket, a hat with earflaps and sunglasses.
The case number is 11-16505.
Also, during the overnight hours of Dec. 27, there was a series of vehicle trespasses in which windows were smashed and items stolen from a number of vehicles in the Boulder area. Investigators haven’t determined whether the cases from last night are related to the case from Dec. 21.
To keep your valuables safe, police offer these safety tips:
- Always lock your car
- Park in well-lit areas
- Don’t leave any valuables in the car – take your cell phone, laptop, camera, iPod and cash/credit cards, etc. with you

Why Men Flash
Indecent exposure is the most common sexual offense. Another nationwide study that surveyed 243 community agencies found the 
most common sexual offenses were inappropriate sexual behavior in public (62.2%), sexual behaviors and stimulation that inappropriately involved others (42.6%), sexual activity involving minors (42.6%) and assaultive/nonconsensual sexual activity not involving minors (34.5%) (Ward et al, 2001). Another study found the most common sexual behaviors are those seen among people without developmental disabilities – offenses against children, genital exposure and rape (Murphy, et al., 1983).
Such behavior often stems from not having enough opportunities for appropriate sexual expression, ignorance of what is considered appropriate, inadequate social education and poorly developed or absent self-control. Other factors include:
Lack of information about or opportunities for sexual expression and intimacy
Lack of social skills and training on appropriate/safe sexual behavior and building relationships resulting in a significant lack of sexual knowledge
A history of sexual or physical abuse (research shows a higher rate of sexual victimization among people with developmental disabilities compared to those without disabilities)
Exposure to violence and/or pornography Socioeconomic factors Pervasive use of restriction in daily life Limited or no available sexual partners Difficulty projecting consequences of behavior Difficulty recognizing and expressing emotions
Significant others deny the behavior is happening (Nezu et al., 1998).

Why Women expose themselves
Women are generally not arrested for indecent exposure or flashing because men like it. Women flashing by young girls is condoned in Boulder and men routinely pay for it at strip clubs like the Bus Stop. Though some researchers say strip clubs add to mens sexual frustration because no release can be found there. Women also flash in bars and there never seem to be arrests.
Indecent exposure by women also never seems to be reported in Boulder. On hot days women can be seen all over Boulder in various stages of disrobe and no one seems to complain, In fact men like it.
