A female victim told investigators that she was playing pool with friends when an unknown woman began to engage the group in conversation in an attempt to befriend them. The suspect told the group that her name was “Susan.”

“Susan” spent time playing pool with the victim and her friends during the course of the evening. The victim realized her purse was gone when she was leaving the bar; she said she had left it unattended on one of the tables for a short period of time. “Susan” was also gone.
Several credit cards were in the purse, and the suspect attempted to use them at a number of stores. The suspect was able to purchase liquor at North Boulder Liquors with one of the cards, but other attempted transactions at other stores failed.

C U six figure raises are a crime by Rob Smoke
Feb 28th
I believe the group of “retired” CU administrators who have six-figure “part-time” jobs with the University of Colorado
are suspect agents of a crime which violates a variety of Federal statutes. If the obviously unconstitutional
legislative provisions allowing their “part-time” six-figure paychecks were in fact created with their involvement,
then — regardless of their job titles — they may in fact be an organized white-collar crime ring.
One question would be, who did the legislative work and what do their records show?
As far as constitutional issues go, for starters, the “special provision” discriminates against anyone who works for the state of Colorado
and cannot access the financial benefit of “retiring” and then receiving top-level pay from the very same public agency from which they allegedly “retired”.
From what I can gather, that includes everyone not in this exclusive group of go-getters — a group that is also known
to work with the legislature regarding CU’s various needs.
It should be noted that the self-same administrators who feel that the 4/20 celebrants besmirch the reputation of the University
are game to continue with their arrangement which functionally defrauds the state of Colorado — or rather, everyone who lives
here and isn’t in this particular “boys club” of un-retirable retirees.
