The victim of a suspected kidnapping in Northglenn was found safe Tuesday night, but police are still searching for the suspect. Witnesses told investigators that a man forced his ex-girlfriend into his car during an argument overnight Monday and fled the area, according to the Northglenn Police Department. Police put out an alert for a gold 2000 Honda Civic at about 3 p.m. Tuesday and found the vehicle within an hour. The woman was found safe later that night, but the unidentified suspect remains at large, according to an 8:20 p.m. update from Northglenn police. Detectives were seeking a warrant…

From Aug. 12-20, the Rockies put up a 7-2 record. Maybe there really was light at the end of a very long, dark tunnel. Nope. Turn out the lights. The Rockies were dominated by the Dodgers in Los Angeles again on Tuesday night, losing 7-2. L.A. blasted four home runs, two by Teoscar Hernandez. The Rockies (40-105) have lost 11 of 13 games and 15 of their last 18. They trail the Dodgers by an astronomical 41 games in the National League West. All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman did provide a feel-good moment for Colorado in the ninth. After striking out…

Second stadium down, one Yard to go. Before you blow your top over the lid at Burnham Yard, the prospective home of the Denver Broncos starting in 2031, did you know that, since 1990, the average temperature of a playoff home game in the Mile High City was 40 degrees? And that of the Broncos’ last 15 postseason games in Denver, eight of them — per Pro-Football-Reference.com — were played in temperatures 37 degrees or warmer? The last five Empower Field playoff temps: 43, 46, 40, 41, 63. Snow down, Broncomaniacs. Denver won’t just be playing in Super Bowls over…

Grocery giant Safeway has announced it will close 10 stores across Colorado by November, including locations along the Front Range in Englewood, Northglenn, Denver, Aurora, Fort Collins, Loveland Colorado Springs and on the Eastern Plains in La Junta and Lamar. Safeway recently combined two divisions, and Heather Halpape, director of communications for Safeway’s Mountain West Division, said in an email statement the closures are part of that restructuring. A store in New Mexico and one in Nebraska will also close operations on or before Nov. 7. “We continuously evaluate the performance of our stores, and occasionally, after long and careful…

By DAVE COLLINS Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear his appeal of the $1.4 billion judgment a Connecticut jury and judge issued against him for calling the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting a hoax staged by crisis actors. The Infowars host is arguing that the judge was wrong to find him liable for defamation and infliction of emotional distress without holding a trial on the merits of allegations lodged by relatives of victims of the shooting, which killed 20 first graders and six educators in Newtown, Connecticut. Judge Barbara Bellis, frustrated at what…

The Rockies have lost a franchise-record 104 games, but who’s counting? Not the players or the manager. At least that’s what they say. They also say that the club’s brush with baseball infamy has not been discussed, at least not as a group. “Zero,” interim manager Warren Schaeffer said on Sunday when asked how many times he talked to his players about the mountain of losses. Added veteran left-hander Kyle Freeland: “This MLB record for losses? Sniffing it and being on pace for it and all of that? For us, it’s out of sight, out of mind.” The Rockies entered…

An Eagle County woman charged with killing a bicyclist in a hit-and-run crash was sentenced to 16 years in prison as part of a plea deal, according to court records. Sidney Rayne Whitmarsh, 25, pleaded guilty Wednesday to leaving the scene of an accident involving death and vehicular homicide while driving under the influence. Prosecutors dismissed charges of tampering with evidence, careless driving resulting in death, failing to report an accident, concealing death and conspiracy as part of the plea agreement, court records show. The body of Mario Vildozola Romero, 43, was found down an embankment off the north side…

Are the Denver School Board elections transparent and democratic? Not really. Sadly, the Denver School board campaigns are far less democratic than any other Denver elections with two “dark money” groups providing more than 70% of the funding. We are talking more than $1 million from these two groups in 2023, and expect the number to be even higher this fall. There is no other Denver or even Colorado election with so much soft or “dark” money pouring into an election. Not only is the funding coming from just two 501(c)(4) organizations — the teacher union (Denver Classroom Teacher Associations…

A bear scratched a man walking his dogs Saturday night in central Boulder, according to a Colorado Parks and Wildlife news release. The man was walking his two dogs on High Street, about four blocks north of Pearl Street near Casey Middle School and the Sacred Heart of Jesus School, around 11 p.m., when he encountered a female bear and her nearby cub. The bear charged at the man, and, as he tried to run away, he tripped over the dogs’ leashes, CPW officials said. The bear then scratched the man across his back. The resident, who was not publicly…
