Boulder Cat Killer sentenced to 12 Years!
Nov 18th
He killed Kitty!
Nathaniel Stark was sentenced to 12 years in the Department of Corrections animal abuse.
The defendant, had originally been sentenced to 10 years of Sex Offender
Intensive Supervision Probation on January 5, 2018. He was designated by the Court as a Sexually
Violent Predator. Shortly after being released from a halfway house in August 2019, the
defendant’s girlfriend’s animals began showing signs of injuries. Within three months of them
residing together, two of her cats were deceased. Veterinarians concluded that the injuries of one
of the cats was not inflicted by another animal, rather the cause of death was consistent with head
trauma and strangulation. Then, in February 2020, the defendant severely beat his girlfriend’s
dog. Veterinarians observed a significant amount of bruising between the dog’s hind legs, which
appeared to be caused by trauma commonly seen in abuse. There was additional deep bruising on
the dog’s back above her hind legs. The dog was removed from their custody immediately. The
defendant was later arrested in October 2020 for violating bond for having contact with
animals. After his arrest and while the cases were pending, he fled the state and was ultimately
extradited back to Colorado.
On May 13, 2022, the defendant entered a guilty plea in 20CR382 to one count of Aggravated
Cruelty to Animals, a class 6 felony; he, also, entered a guilty plea in L21M95 to Sex Offender
Fail to Verify Location, an unclassified misdemeanor. The sentence was open to the court, with
no sentencing stipulation by the People. The defendant requested a screen for community
corrections, and the board denied his request. Today, the Court imposed 12 years in state prison.
Deputy District Attorney Jenny McClintock stated, “The defendant’s abuse of his partner’s
animals in this case was just one act of violence in his criminal history. It is important to take
these cases seriously as they involve victims who have no voice and are often used as coercive
controlling tactics in a domestic violence relationship. We are pleased with the sentence that the
Court imposed and want to thank our law enforcement partners for the exceptional investigation
in this case.”
District Attorney Michael Dougherty stated, “This case involved terrible conduct against
animals. Given his prior conduct and the cruel acts involving his partner’s pets, the defendant.
clearly presented a risk to others. That’s why we have a prosecutor who specializes in cases
involving animal cruelty. I appreciate all the hard work by Jenny McClintock and law enforcement
in this Aggravated Cruelty to Animals case. With this lengthy prison sentence, this defendant is
being held responsible for his conduct.”

3 black men rob, carjack 3 white CU sorority girls at gun point!
Oct 2nd
It is not a racial thing, except that it is. Boulder is 92% white. Black youth toughs cruising around the hill in a car are prime suspects and targets for police profiling. Although profiling is illegal, it is the way cops catch criminals who are brown or black. It is a racial odds play. Yes there are some rich black kids who go to CU… like about 10 out of 20,000 rich white kids.
CU boulder has always been a target for black, brown and Asian gangsters

Boulder police investigate robbery
“On Oct. 1, 2017 at approximately 10:00 p.m., officers were dispatched to the Pi Beta Phi sorority house, 890 11th St. in response to a robbery that had just occurred.
Three females were sitting in a vehicle outside the house when they were approached by three males wearing dark clothing who had either bandanas or ski masks covering their faces. The males opened the front and rear passenger doors of the vehicle. One was holding a black handgun and yelled at the women to get out of the car. All of women exited the vehicle and ran from the scene. One suspect was seen inside the car and shortly afterwards all of the suspects fled westbound on foot.
One of the suspects is described as a dark-skinned male and another was wearing a dark colored t-shirt with a light colored long sleeve shirt underneath and was average height and weight.
No one was injured during the robbery and it appears as though theft was the suspects’ motivation. No arrests have been made and police continue to investigate.
The case number is 17-12986.
