YourHub.com collected these reports from area police and sheriff agencies. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Lone Tree Police

COMPUTER EQUIPMENT STOLEN
A security guard at Sam's Club, 7817 Park Meadows Drive, stated someone stole a Dell projection system from the store at approximately 3 p.m. April 15. The guard stated he was near the jewelry counter when he heard the fire exit alarm go off. He ran to the door, but didn't see anything. However, when he went over surveillance footage, he noticed a man enter the store, pick up computer equipment and leave the aisle. He never saw the man leave the store. The guard believes the same man stole a flat-screen television from the store a month ago. There are currently no leads in the case.

Parker Police

MAN SHOWS UP DRUNK TO PICK UP WOMAN
A 28-year-old Highlands Ranch man was arrested April 13 after he showed up drunk at the police station to pick up his friend, who had just been arrested for a DUI. An officer stated he was in the process of releasing a 46-year-old Centennial woman to a sober party when he noticed the man who showed up to the station had bloodshot eyes and smelled like alcohol. When asked if he drove to the station, the man replied "yeah" and later said he drank a beer about an hour ago. The officer requested the man perform a roadside sobriety test, which he failed. He was arrested and later released to a sober party, as was the woman he was supposed to pick up.

GOLF COURSE VANDALIZED
A golf course in Highlands Ranch was vandalized, causing more than $1,200 in damage. A course supervisor at Links Golf Course, 5815 E. Gleneagles Village Parkway, reported at 10:12 a.m. April 14 that someone had destroyed several tee markers and damaged sod on the greens. Currently, there are no suspects.

MAN FATALLY SHOT IN HOME INVASION
Deputies responded to a home on the 11900 block of Colorado 83 at 7 a.m. April 20 on a report from a 65-year-old man that someone had broken into his home. Information also was relayed that the homeowner had shot and killed the intruder, a 42-year-old Parker man. After questioning the homeowner, the district attorney's office decided not to press charges against the man since the man acted in accordance with state law in protecting himself inside his home.

ARGUMENT LEADS TO KEYED CAR
A 47-year-old man and a 39-year-old man, both of Highlands Ranch, were issued summonses for disorderly conduct April 15 after a heated argument at a grocery store. The 47-year-old man stated he was walking through the parking lot of King Soopers, 2205 W. Wildcat Reserve Parkway, when he was nearly hit by the 39-year-old man's car. Words were exchanged and the 39-year-old allegedly parked, got out of his car and keyed the other man's car. In addition to the disorderly conduct summons, the 39-year-old also was issued a summons for criminal mischief.

WOMAN'S CAR VANDALIZED
A 49-year-old Highlands Ranch woman reported someone doused her car with a variety of food and other items sometime between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. April 15. The woman, who lives on the 800 block of Thames Street, reported someone threw kitty litter (with feces), broken eggs, macaroni and cheese and orange shake all over the hood and roof of her car. Her son told her his ex-girlfriend might be the culprit.

MAN CITED AT LODO'S
A 26-year-old Englewood man was cited for theft after he allegedly stole two beers from Lodo's Bar and Grill, 8545 S. Quebec St., on April 12. Staff at the bar told deputies they watched as the man took two bottles of beer from the bar and walked outside, where he urinated in the parking lot. The man admitted to urinating in the parking lot, but stated he did not steal the two beers.

iPOD STOLEN FROM SCHOOL
A teacher at ThunderRidge High School, 1991 Wildcat Reserve Parkway, reported April 10 that someone stole an iPod from her classroom. The 80GB iPod, which was used for classroom activities, was worth approximately $200, according to the teacher.
