- The Federal Bureau of Investigation in Denver has issued an alert for a man agents say has been seen on video sexually abusing children. The same graphic videos are providing clues that could help the FBI hunt the man down. “This is horrible and this does happen,” Kendra Dunn with Prevent Child Abuse Colorado said. The FBI doesn’t know who the man is. They call John Doe 27. He’s been seen on video engaging in sexually explicit activities with a child. The images are being circulated on Internet child pornography forums. Agents worry there may be more victims.
- Officials battling the spread of a destructive beetle in Boulder County have quarantined firewood and ash. The Colorado Department of Agriculture on Tuesday announced the quarantine Tuesday. The move means firewood and ash products cannot be moved from one of the quarantined counties unless permitted by state regulators. Officials say most infestations have been started by people accidentally moving infested firewood, nursery plants or sawmill logs.
- Gas prices are headed down, especially in Colorado. In some places it’s below $3 a gallon. An Aurora gas is $2.97 at the Sam’s Club on South Aurora Parkway. In Boulder it’s $3.15 at the Everyday station on 13th and Pleasant. In Centennial it’s $3.04 at the Corner Store on East Smoky Hill Road. In Denver it’s under $3 on Briargate Boulevard. The price has dropped seven weeks in a row and gas in the Denver area is less than the national average of $3.21.
- Denver International Airport is at the top of the list when it comes to healthy airport eating. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine checked out the dining options at several airports. DIA got the top ranking because 86 percent of the restaurants in the terminal and on the concourses offer at least one plant-based, fiber packed entree. Across the nation only about 57 percent of airport eateries offer at least one healthy option.
- Denver police hope someone will recognize a man they say robbed a Subway sandwich shop with a knife. The robbery happened last Wednesday evening at the store located on 38th Avenue near Quivas Street. The clerk was not hurt. The suspect is described as a light-skinned Hispanic man in his 50s, approximately 5-foot-11 and speaks with a Hispanic accent.
- A family in Fort Collins has filed a complaint with the state’s veterinary medicine board after a veterinarian made a house call and the family’s dog ended up dying. The dog’s death happened during a routine operation. The vet’s 16-year-old daughter was performing the anesthesia while the dog was on a kitchen table. Most states license vet assistants, but Colorado chose not to. Colorado looked at licensing veterinary assistants back in 1994 but found there weren’t any incidents that justified it. Now a family has a case they say is worth taking a new look.
