\u2018Be careful, I have hepatitis C\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

A passenger of an AMTRAK train arrested in Glenwood Springs on Tuesday advised police to be careful searching his pocket for a hypodermic needle.<\/p>\n

An AMTRAK employee called Glenwood Springs Police shortly after noon Tuesday and said two passengers were smoking marijuana and using heroin on the train. <\/p>\n

Officers arrived at the passenger train station on Seventh Street around 12:30 p.m. and searched the train. <\/p>\n

A female suspect was located outside the train, and train employees said a man, 29, was locked in a train bathroom.<\/p>\n

After staff unlocked the door, the man walked out and the police officer \u201csaw him put something in his pocket,\u201d according to arrest documents. <\/p>\n

The officer restrained the man\u2019s arm and asked what was in his pocket. <\/p>\n

The man \u201cstated something to the effect of, \u2018I have a needle and be careful because I have hepatitis c,\u2019\u201d the officer wrote. <\/p>\n

A careful search of the man\u2019s pockets returned one needle, a pill bottle suspected to contain Tramadol and another pill bottle with a crystal substance, which later tested positive for methamphetamine, wrapped in paper. <\/p>\n

The man was arrested and charged with felony drug possession. <\/p>\n

Woman stabs ex-husband in the neck to escape frightening car ride<\/strong><\/p>\n

A woman escaped her allegedly menacing ex-husband in Parachute by stabbing him in the neck before he fled in her car early in September.<\/p>\n

The Parachute Police Department received a call Sept. 7 about a potential domestic incident at a fast-food restaurant.<\/p>\n

Before police could arrive, the man reporting the incident called back to say that he was tailing the car going 90 mph heading west, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

Parachute PD arrived at an exit ramp and met with the woman and the infant, and the man who reported the incident and followed in his car. The ex-husband had apparently taken off in the woman\u2019s car.<\/p>\n

The woman had blood on her shirt and face, and told police that she went to pick up her ex-husband in Rifle so he could visit the child.<\/p>\n

The woman told police that as they were driving back to their home in Hotchkiss, a fight broke out, and the ex-husband said he wanted to get back together.<\/p>\n

They pulled into Parachute, where the man broke her phone, took her keys, and took off with the woman barely inside the car.<\/p>\n

The woman, who was in the back seat with the infant, waved her hands to attract passing cars.<\/p>\n

As they approached the De Beque exit, the ex-husband said \u201cWe\u2019re going back here in the boonies and if I can\u2019t have you, nobody will,\u201d according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

The woman told police she took a pocket knife from her purse and climbed from the backseat, where her infant was, to stab the back of the man\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n

The ex-husband slammed on the brakes, and the woman ran to the car where the man who reported the incident was parked.<\/p>\n

The suspect was arrested on Wednesday, and charged with motor vehicle theft, a felony, for stealing his ex-wife\u2019s car, domestic violence, child abuse and a host of other misdemeanors.<\/p>\n
