Police clear suspect in graffiti incident
Boulder police have interviewed a teenager photographed leaving a condominium rooftop in the 1300 block of Rosewood Avenue on the evening of May 8, and have cleared him of graffiti allegations.
Police were called to the condo by a witness who saw the 17-year-old boy on the roof and took his picture as he left the area. When officers arrived, they found fresh graffiti on the rooftop.
During the subsequent investigation, the teen admitted to police that he had trespassed on the roof of the building, but said he did so to take sunset photos of the mountains. He provided police with those photos to support his story. He has no prior history of “tagging.”
Police will not be pursuing graffiti or vandalism charges against the teen and are still determining whether he will face trespassing charges.
