Stick turned into a deadly weapon, according to cops<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Glenwood Springs Police were called to the old Safeway building near Wendy\u2019s on Grand Avenue Monday evening after reports of a man bleeding from the head.<\/p>\n

The alleged victim was bleeding from a cut over his right eye, and said he had been attacked by another man in front of the Safeway building, police wrote in an affidavit.<\/p>\n

The victim told police the fight started when the suspected attacker made a comment about a sexual act with the victim\u2019s girlfriend.<\/p>\n

The victim began walking toward the suspect, telling him to not talk to his girlfriend that way.<\/p>\n

The suspect said the alleged victim was drunk, and when he started walking toward him, he said he had two choices: Stop walking toward him or \u201cget his a\u2013 beat,\u201d the suspect told police.<\/p>\n

Both men agreed that the suspect struck the alleged victim more than once in the head with a 3.5-foot stick, \u201cmade from the limb of a tree,\u201d according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Part of the stick was taped with some kind of material for padding, police said, making it easier to cause bodily harm.<\/p>\n

The suspect has been charged with second-degree assault.<\/p>\n

\u2018Owner\u2019 of Grand Avenue Bridge arrested for painting sidewalk<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Glenwood Springs police arrested a man who claimed to own the Grand Avenue Bridge and surrounding restaurants for painting the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

Police arrived at the underside of the bridge Tuesday evening and found a 40-year-old man rolling paint on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

The man \u201cstated that he was painting his property because it was ugly,\u201d an officer wrote in an arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n

The officer told the man he was damaging Glenwood Springs property, but the man said he \u201cdidn\u2019t care, because he owned the whole city as well,\u201d the officer wrote.<\/p>\n

Police found foil that appeared to be used for drugs and other small items on the suspect, who said that was all he had on him.<\/p>\n

At the jail, however, Garfield County Sheriff\u2019s deputies found marijuana folded into plastic.<\/p>\n

Explicit video found on man\u2019s work phone<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A man accused of child exploitation turned himself in to authorities this week after a months-long investigation regarding pornography on his work phone.<\/p>\n

Garfield County Sheriff\u2019s deputies received calls of possible exploitation in April, according to court records.<\/p>\n

The call came from the former employer of the 27-year-old suspect after an illicit video of sexual acts on a young female was found on the man\u2019s work phone.<\/p>\n

The suspect was fired from his job weeks later over the video, and denied knowing how it got onto his Google Drive, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Garfield County Sheriff\u2019s investigators contacted the man in June, at which time he said he believed someone else had accessed his account and downloaded the video.<\/p>\n

After he changed his password, he saw a phone logged into his account that he didn\u2019t recognize.<\/p>\n

The suspect reported to authorities July 8, and has since been released awaiting further court proceedings.<\/p>\n
