Boulder Armed robbery suspect still at large
Aug 16th
Boulder police continue to search for an armed robbery suspect who threatened three women with a gun and then stole their purses.
Extra police patrols are monitoring the Boulder Creek area and will continue to do so.
On Monday afternoon, just before 4:00 p.m., a Hispanic male approached three women who were enjoying Boulder Creek near the area of 5th and Canyon. He displayed a gun and told the three to walk into the water so he could separate them from their purses, which they had placed on the bank. The women complied and the suspect fled on a bicycle with all three purses. No one was hurt.
The victims, plus several witnesses, heard a sound that they believed was a shot fired from a gun as the suspect rode away on his bike. Detectives recovered a projectile from a handgun in the area of the robbery. The suspect was last seen heading east on the Boulder Creek path, near the Criminal Justice Center.
Detectives are working on obtaining a sketch. The suspect is described as a:
Hispanic male
Early-to-mid twenties
5’8” – 5’10” tall
160 pounds with a stocky build
Wearing a grayish-blue polo shirt & jeans
Carrying a black backpack
Short dark hair
Boulder police are working with investigators from the University of Colorado Police Department, because Monday’s armed robbery is similar to a separate armed robbery that occurred on the campus on August 11.

Boulder police arrest suspect in attempted murder case
Aug 4th
Police in Boulder have arrested a 27-year-old man on suspicion of attempted second-degree murder after a 28-year-old male victim was attacked early this morning in the University Hill area.
Jeffrey Carter Neering (DOB 7/27/1984) is suspected of cutting the throat of Jason Patrick Chilson of Denver, who was in Boulder to visit friends. Witnesses told police that an altercation took place between Neering and a friend of the victim at K’s China restaurant, located at 1325 Broadway, sometime after 2:00 a.m. Restaurant employees broke up the altercation and told everyone to leave.
After they left the restaurant, Chilson and his two friends were walking near The Goose when a man — believed to be Neering — jumped on Chilson’s back and cut his throat. Chilson’s friend was trying to defend him when bouncers from The Goose intervened and broke everyone apart. Neering then ran away.
Witnesses at K’s China identified Neering and told investigators that he was a regular at the restaurant. Police attempted to contact Neering at his last known address; however he was no longer living there. Police located Neering later Thursday morning at an apartment Neering had vacated some time ago. He had broken into it and spent the night there. Neering will be charged with first-degree criminal trespass in addition to the other charge mentioned above.
Neering has been positively identified by the victim and the witnesses involved in this case. He is in custody at the Boulder County Jail and his bond was set at $250,000.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective Ruth Christopher at 303-441-1850.

Portapotty suspect may have spied in other restrooms
Jun 24th
Boulder police continue to investigate the suspect in the portable toilet spying incident that happened at the Hanuman Yoga Festival on June 17. Luke Irvin Chrisco (DOB 9/12/1980) was arrested during a traffic stop in Vail on June 23 and remains in the custody of Vail Police and is being held on Boulder charges.
During the course of the investigation, Chrisco claimed that he had spied on women in other public restrooms around Boulder. Detectives are in the process of contacting business owners in an attempt to substantiate Chrisco’s statements. In addition, detectives are searching all restrooms in which Chrisco claimed to have spied. Police will notify all Boulder businesses today which have been named by Chrisco.
Detectives have already confirmed that there are “peepholes” in the restrooms of several local businesses. Owners of those businesses are taking appropriate action to seal the holes. At this time, police are not releasing the names of the businesses because detectives are still conducting the investigation and confirming information.
Boulder detectives are working with the District Attorney’s Office and it is anticipated that Chrisco could face additional charges.
The Boulder Police Department will update the public and media early next week, as soon as more information is available which has been confirmed.
