HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT DEFENDS POT USE
A 16-year-old Wheat Ridge High School student admitted to police at 10:22 a.m. Jan. 28 that a baggie of marijuana and a glass pipe found in his backpack at school belonged to him. In the student's written statement, he said, "... I still feel that in any place nor situation should marijuana be considered a drug because as it states in the holy fricken bible on the 4th God created grass and her band gave it seed so it could thrive and He decided it was good." The student also sketched a mushroom with a person smoking underneath it, and a house, which the student pointed out had grass in front of it. The student was issued a summons for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and sent home.
BOYS SET FIRE TO BAG OF FECES
On Nov. 11 at 2:36 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 4700 block of Holland Street regarding juvenile delinquency. Dispatch had advised the officers that teenagers had set fire to a bag full of feces in front of a residence. The reporting parties told police someone had repeatedly rang their doorbell and when they answered, a bag of feces had been set ablaze on their doorstep and several teenagers could be seen hiding in the bushes in front of a house across the street. The boys then made their way into the adjacent residence they were hiding in front of. When officers contacted the homeowner, a woman answered and said, "This probably has to do with the boys." Several teenagers were located in the garage with alcohol and marijuana pipes. Each teenager denied knowing anything about the bag of feces. One arrest was made for possession of alcohol by a minor.
WOMAN HITS FENCE, REACHES FOR BOOZE
A 53-year-old Wheat Ridge woman was arrested on suspicion of DUI at 5:31 p.m. June 2 on the 3700 block of High Court. The woman's neighbor said the woman peeled around a corner, hit a fence and then climbed into the backseat to get a bottle of alcohol. The driver originally told police she only had a shot of vodka and then said she had a pint. When the impaired woman was escorted to the officer's car, she screamed profanities at her neighbors and said they wanted her to die. She was taken to the Lakewood Police Department and then transferred to the Wheat Ridge Police Department. She was released to a sober party who told officers the woman drinks a gallon of vodka a day. The sober party returned with the woman a short time later because she was demanding the return of her keys and wanted to keep drinking. The woman was again taken into custody for detox.
