Arvada Police

DATING SERVICE FAILS MAN
A 35-year-old man who signed up for a telephone dating service called police at 7:05 p.m. June 5 after he claimed another user of the service had begun harassing him, reports state. The man, who lives on the 2600 block of Kendall Street, told police that he had spoken to a woman for about five minutes at 5 p.m. May 31. She allegedly called again at 4 p.m. June 1 and the man told her he was not interested in a relationship because he had just met someone else. The man said she became irate and proceeded to leave about 100 voice mail messages and text messages between that time and 5 p.m. June 3, reports state. He reportedly told police he planned to get his profile deleted by the dating service and his phone number changed.

MAN BRAGS ABOUT FAMILY JEWELS
Police arrested a 47-year-old man on suspicion of indecent exposure outside the Safeway store on the 9500 block of West 58th Avenue at 2:25 p.m. May 24. The man told police he had consumed several pints of vodka during the day and had engaged in an argument with a bar patron in the parking lot of the Red Lion Lounge, 9502 W. 58th Ave., during which he exposed his genitals in anger, police said. He also allegedly said he knew what he did was wrong, but that he used to do it on a regular basis when he was in high school, according to police reports. When told how much his bond was by Jefferson County Jail staff, he proudly shouted that the body part he exposed was worth $1,000, reports said.

NERVOUS DRIVER PULLED OVER
Police pulled an erratic driver over in the area of West 64th Avenue and Simms Street at 2:36 a.m. July 23. The 26-year-old man, who didn't have a valid driver's license, allegedly said he had consumed two large beers. The officer noted in reports that the man had extreme difficulty in following directions and offered the excuse, "I'm as nervous as a white girl in a horror movie." The man allegedly failed roadside tests administered by the officer and was subsequently issued summonses on suspicion of careless driving, driving a vehicle without a valid driver's license and DUI.

MAN PUNCHED FOR HECKLING WIFE
A 28-year-old woman threw her phone at her 25-year-old husband and then punched him in the eye after he made fun of how she danced and sang during a karaoke session at their home on the 6700 block of West 51st Avenue at about 10:58 p.m. Nov. 24. The woman told police she had punched her husband to stop him from choking her, but police found nothing to support that claim. The wife was cited on suspicion of third-degree assault. Because the couple's two children were in the home at the time, police notified social services.
