Boulder police arrest suspect in indecent exposure incidents, suspect admits there are other victims
Boulder police detectives conducted an undercover operation today and arrested 20-year-old Alexander Roy Davison (DOB 10/31/1990) for indecent exposure. Police have received two reports of a man exposing himself in north Boulder, and investigators say that Davison has confessed. This is the second undercover operation in two days.
There are two female victims at the present time; both gave similar descriptions of the suspect and police in plain clothes stationed in the area of north Broadway (where the incidents were reported) on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011. Undercover officers saw Davison and arrested him near Broadway and Mountain Laurel.
Davison is cooperating with police and has admitted that he has exposed himself to possibly 60 or 70 women over the past few weeks. Investigators are asking anyone who may have been a victim of an act of indecent exposure recently to contact police to file a report.
Anyone with information or who has been a victim may call Dispatch at 303-441-3333 and ask to speak to an officer about the incident. Citizens may also contact the Boulder Police Department’s Tip Line at 303-441-1974.

TedxBoulder more of the Andrew Hyde show
Sep 25th
Last nights TedxBoulder with ticket prices ranging from $22.00 to $32.00 is another one of Andrew Hydes road shows. Hyde runs Ignite Boulder and Startup Boulder which are also slick minimalist events. This years TedxBoulder was essentially more of the same.
Hyde who moved to Boulder a few years ago as point man and recruiter for Brad Felds Tech Stars, produces sold out speaking shows at Boulder theater, Chautauqua Auditorium and now Macky Auditorium.
Hyde has been key in feeding Felds venture capitalist machine though he doesn’t like to admit it. The message is always :”minimalist, anti capitalist, communist, anti-money, brains, save the world” But the people involved are rich as hell and money always seems to be flowing to them from others.
Now Children let’s everyone drink the cool Aide: It’s the same old Boulder story of anti capitalists being the best capitalists of all. In a way it’s a Joke on all of us. As long as Hyde , Feld and company don’t burn investors, we see no harm. But call it what it is boys. Oh maybe not. Then it can’t be sold to the rich anti capitalist kids who come to school here. This makes Boulder all the more fun… Watching rich liberals trying to convince themselves and everyone else that money doesn’t matter as long as you give it to them. It is also the Boulder Story. Money is evil. Things are bad. you don’t understand. And lets go to the bar and get drunk. Coffee in the morning. give me your money. lol.
