Take your daughter to work night
West Colfax Avenue, June 27, 8:30 p.m.
Officers were working undercover to catch prostitutes. An officer picked up two women, ages 22 and 42. When they were in the car, he asked them, “Are you girls looking to party?” They were receptive to the offer and said it was $40 each for straight sex, according to police reports. The officer asked them if that meant at the same time. They said no, they didn’t do that, and it would have to be one after the other. After they were arrested, it was revealed that they were mother and daughter.
A night at Belmar
400 block of South Teller Street, June 25, 9:40 p.m.
Police were called to the Belmar complex by private security officials. Security officers said a man was verbally harassing passersby. Police officers contacted the suspect, age 33. He was reportedly very uncooperative and said, “(Expletive you, I didn’t do anything wrong.” He was standing outside his truck, which was occupied by his two sons, age 14 and 16. The father became increasingly belligerent, so, as the police report said, “At this time, I assisted [the suspect] to the ground.” After being assisted to the ground, the handcuffed suspect told the officer, “I would kick your ass if we fought man to man.” He was arrested, and the two sons said their father’s arrest would not affect their plans to go see a movie at the Belmar theater.
“I’m going to work”
1800 block of South Balsam Street, June 25, 3:49 p.m.
Police were called to a domestic incident. A woman, 38, said her husband, 39, threatened her. She said the two were arguing throughout the day. At one point, she said, he pulled out a gun. “What are you doing with the gun?” she asked. “I’m not doing anything. I’m getting ready for work,” he said, according to police reports. The man worked as a security guard. She noticed it was a couple hours before he was due at work. He left the house when his wife seemed to react in a frightened manner. He took the van but returned a short time later and repeatedly yelled at the house, “I’m going to work.” He was arrested.
My wife’s boyfriend
1900 block of South Wadsworth Boulevard, June 24, 12:27 p.m.
Police were called to a King Soopers store about a 39-year-old man, allegedly harassing his wife, 29, who worked there. She said she and her boyfriend, another worker, pulled into the parking lot and the husband blocked their way. The boyfriend ran inside and the husband yelled at the wife, “I seen you kiss him. You’re both dead.” An elderly passerby apparently told the husband not to hit the wife, to which the husband allegedly told her to “back off, you stupid b—-,” police reports said. Police spoke with the husband, who said he followed his wife to work and noticed her boyfriend at one point take the pickup his wife drove to work, which the husband owns, on an errand. He admitted to pulling in front of the truck and yelling. The husband claimed he never hit or verbally threatened his wife or her boyfriend in any way. Nonetheless, he was arrested for harassment.
