Witnesses to assault at Boulder Theater are sought
Dec 13th
Boulder police are looking for witnesses to an assault which occurred during the DeVotchka concert at the Boulder Theater (2032 14th St.) on Nov. 1, 2013.
On Nov. 2, 2013 a 34-year-old woman told police that she and another female attendee had “bickered” because the victim’s jacket had been bumping into the female attendee. The victim told police she and her friend had decided to walk away from the situation but began arguing again with the female after the female’s boyfriend made a comment they didn’t like.
The victim says the female concertgoer “shoved her backwards” and that she shoved the concertgoer back. At this point, the victim says she was grabbed from behind and then an unknown male punched her in the nose and disappeared. The victim’s nose was broken.
Police are trying to identify the suspect who punched the victim in the face and have few leads in the case. The victim described the suspect as a white male, about 5’9” tall with a brown hair and a brown beard. He wore a button down shirt and wire-rimmed glasses. The victim’s friend says the male was 6’2” tall with brown hair and a “fake” beard. She said he was wearing a costume that reminded her of a European security guard.
The case number is 13-14745.
Detectives would like to speak to anyone who remembers the altercation as they attempt to identify the assault suspect. Detective Heather Frey is the lead investigator on the case and she may be reached at 303-441-3369. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776. Tips can also be submitted through the Crime Stoppers website at www.crimeshurt.com. Those submitting tips through Crime Stoppers that lead to the arrest and filing of charges on a suspect(s) may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 from Crime Stoppers.

Feed them and they will die!

In recent years, bears have become more reliant on trash as a food source. By leaving their natural habitat to scavenge for food, bears are unintentionally putting themselves in danger. Securing trash and compost storage will help protect bears, increase public safety, and allow bears and humans to better co-exist.
The City of Boulder is asking for the community’s input on options to make food waste less accessible to bears. Community members are encouraged to complete a survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/bears-trash to help evaluate potential options for the location, storage and enforcement of trash regulations.
The city will also host a public meeting from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 9, in the West Senior Center (909 Arapahoe Ave.) to get community input on options for securing trash in Boulder.
At its Oct. 15, 2013, meeting, City Council received a staff update on bears and trash in the urban interface. This update was, in part, due to community and council concern related to four bears that were killed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife because of public safety concerns.
At the meeting, council identified securing trash from bears as a priority and staff committed to developing options that will be presented for consideration in early 2014. The community’s input will help shape the options delivered to City Council in January 2014.
