Thanksgiving dinner ends in physical altercation
Dec 2nd
BOULDER COUNTY- At approximately 5:00 p.m. Boulder County Communications received a 911 call reporting a stabbing in the area of West Magnolia, unincorporated Boulder County. Two local transients invited a third to join them for Thanksgiving dinner. The group’s conversation spiraled into a disagreement and physical altercation. The invited guest picked up a kitchen knife and threatened 34 year old Brendan Hayes, who put up his hands to defend himself. The invited guest slashed Brendan’s hands several times. The invited guest left the area prior to Deputies arriving.
Brendan was transported by Pridemark Ambulance to Boulder Community Hospital where he was treated for cuts on his hands.
The suspect is described as a white male, 5’ 8”- 5’10” tall. He had brown hair and a slender to medium build. He was wearing blue jeans and a dark hooded sweatshirt. He fled the area in a faded yellow four door sedan. This incident is recorded under Boulder County Sheriff’s Office case number 13-6408
Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to contact the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office at 303-441-4444.

Securing trash to protect bears: community input needed on options
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.
Many more bears will be killed unless more measures are taken
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.
