Nothing left to wear

A man reported that his laundry was stolen from a communal dryer in an Eagle-Vail apartment complex on Jan. 10.

He said when he returned to check on his clothes, two men were leaving the laundry room. He heard one of them say, “These are still wet,” as he held the door open for them as they left. When he checked his clothes, he noticed they were all missing except for his underwear. He ran back out, looking for the men, but they were already gone.

One of the suspects was described to be about 6 feet tall with short, dirty blond hair and lots of tattoos on his arms.

The stolen clothes were valued at about $300.

Tased and confused

Trouble ensued after a belligerent 34-year-old man was forced to leave a Beaver Creek bar on Jan. 5.

The man's 35-year-old friend escorted him away from the bar and into a parking garage while security followed them to make sure they didn't cause any damage. The men yelled obscenities at the security officers and deputies soon arrived in the parking garage to investigate the disturbance.

Deputies walking up behind the men yelled at them to stop. One of the men turned around, saw the officers and dashed out of view between some parked cars. One officer chased the man directly while the second officer took a different path and came upon the suspect and the first officer as they grappled with each other on the ground.

The 34-year-old man was not complying with any orders as the deputies tried to handcuff him. An officer pointed his Taser at him and told him to turn on his belly. The man complied but still wouldn't let himself be handcuffed.

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old man was yelling at the deputies and becoming more threatening toward the officers, moving close to them with clenched fists. A deputy was addressing the man to make him step back and sit down when he heard the distinct sound of a Taser being fired on the 34-year-old man.

Even after being arrested, the 34-year-old kicked a deputy and spit on officers as he was taken first to a hospital to be examined and then to jail. He was charged with assault on a peace officer and obstruction of a peace officer, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.

The 35-year-old man was cited for obstruction of a peace officer and disorderly conduct.

Punching the boss

Deputies responded to a fight that happened at a business in Eagle-Vail on Jan. 22.

A 56-year-old man told the officers that he was shoveling snow with two employees. A 54-year-old employee was driving a plow truck that had a new scratch and dent on its side when he returned.

The 56-year-old asked his employee what caused the damage. The man denied hitting anything. The boss said he needed to know if someone's vehicle or property had been hit with the truck but the employee still denied hitting anything.

The boss told the 54-year-old man he was fired and turned his back to him as he walked away. The next thing he knew, he was on the ground and his head and neck hurt.

Deputies contacted the 54-year-old suspect. The man said his boss bent one of his ski poles, so he punched him and then his boss hit him several times. The suspect's ski poles appeared to be fine, however.

The other employee didn't see anything until he came around from the other side of the building. He saw his boss on the ground and the 54-year-old man holding his legs as they yelled at each other.

The 54-year-old was cited for assault.
