  • Sheriff’s Office Investigating the Theft of a Denver Broncos Helmet

    Sheriff’s Office Investigating the Theft of a Denver Broncos Helmet

    The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the theft of a Denver Broncos team helmet. The theft occurred at about 3:15 p.m. on Sunday, July 31, during a signing session after practice.
    At the session, the player set his helmet down on the ground beside him. While the player was attending to fans, the helmet was stolen. Investigators have photos of the man who took the helmet from beside the player (seen here with the orange hat), as well a second male he passed the helmet to (seen here in shadow with ‘18’ jersey). Both men were seen leaving the practice facility together with what appeared to be a family.
    The stolen helmet is a Riddell Revolution Speed Classic, valued at more than $400. It is clearly marked with the Denver Broncos logo.
    Anyone with information about the crime or the identification of these men is asked to contact the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at 720-874-8477 or Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867).

  • New Segment of the South Platte River Trail Opens Tomorrow

    New Segment of the South Platte River Trail Opens Tomorrow

    Adams County Parks and Open Space will open the new segment of the South Platte River Trail on Wednesday, Aug. 24, completing the trail within unincorporated Adams County. This $1.8 million project, funded by the Adams County Open Space Sales Tax and a Great Outdoors Colorado “Paths to Parks” grant award, will add approximately two miles of concrete trails along the river, as well as two bridges to accommodate pedestrians between 104th Avenue and 120th Avenue.
    “This is an exciting project that provides connectivity to our fantastic amenities at the Adams County Regional Park and beyond,” said Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio. “This opening comes at a perfect time for our residents to get out and enjoy the beauty of the foliage along the South Platt River during the fall months.”
    The South Platte River Trail is the major regional trail for the Denver Metro area and will connect the Adams County Regional Park in Brighton to the Chatfield Reservoir in Littleton. This project will also provide connections to the Clear Creek Trail along the Front Range, the Cherry Creek Trail in Denver, and Sand Creek Trail through Denver.
    After more than 25 years, the development of the South Platte River Trail is now complete within the county’s jurisdiction with the newly added segment. For more information on the South Platte River Trail, or any additional trails within Adams County, visit adcogov.org.Jason Robb_Thornton_5
