Some of the Stinkiest Stuff Left in Aspen Airport’s Pot Amnesty Box Isn’t Marijuana

Nearly three years ago, the first of three marijuana amnesty boxes was installed at Aspen-Pitkin County Airport. The idea behind the boxes was to give fliers a way to dispose of legal cannabis before they boarded a plane bound for a destination where the substance might be against the law, and Pitkin County Undersheriff Ron Ryan considers the containers to be a success, even though weed isn’t the only aromatic thing sometimes being left in them.

Courtney Plante Admits to Role in Bizarre Murder Try Against Former Teacher

Courtney Plante has taken a plea agreement in regard to attempted murder allegations against her significant other Sean Overstreet dating back to January 2016, when she was nineteen and he was 37. The deal trims time off her possible sentence but doesn’t let her off the hook for a crime against her former teacher that was as violent as it was bizarre.

RTD: Buses, Trains Are Safer Than Ever Despite Recent Stabbing, Assault

Over recent weeks, there have been a series of high-profile crimes on Regional Transportation District buses in the Denver metro area, including a stabbing, an assault and a case of indecent exposure. Yet an RTD spokesman argues that despite such regrettable incidents, the district’s buses, trains and assorted properties are safe — and getting safer all the time.

Funniest and/or Most NSFW Messages and Signs at Women’s March on Denver

President Donald Trump isn’t the only person to question attendance estimates at a big event over the past few days. I do, too. The audience-size figures most frequently floated after the Women’s March on Denver, which took place on Saturday, January 21, was “more than 100,000.” But to me, the Civic Center Park area seemed just as it packed as it did during the Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 Victory rally in February 2016 — and the crowd at that gathering was supposed to be one-million strong.

Is High-Tech Hyperloop the Solution to I-25 Traffic Jams? CDOT Hopes So

Is the solution to reducing or eliminating Interstate 25 traffic jams along the northern corridor a high-tech tube called Hyperloop One, through which passengers and cargo can travel at speeds up to 700 miles per hour? The folks at the Colorado Department of Transportation hope so, and while the concept sounds like science fiction, they believe it’s on the verge of becoming fact.

Watch Denver Cop Tase Surrendering Homeless Man in Video Inspiring Lawsuit

A lawsuit inspired by a video in which Greg Heard, a homeless man, is tased while giving himself up to a Denver police officer is currently in the works. But Heard’s attorney, John Holland, is releasing the video prior to the suit’s filing (see it below) because “it’s a matter of public concern. It should be out there, so people can understand that they should be very, very careful when confronting police officers armed with tasers. Because they will be tased — and many people have died from tasing. It can be deadly.”

CU Profs’ Picks for the 10 Worst Presidents, Trump’s Odds of Joining Them

On Friday, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States. And while Trump clearly has plenty of supporters with high hopes for his time in office, many critics already fear that he’ll join the ranks of the most ineffective, incompetent chief executives we’ve ever had. What are the chances The Donald will sink to such depths?

Broncos’ Vance Joseph Spins Erect Penis Accusations With Help of Denver Post

Yesterday, we shared disturbing new details about past sexual assault accusations made against new Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph, including an assertion by a woman who told police in 2004 that Joseph, then an assistant coach at the University of Colorado Boulder, had disrobed, climbed into her bed uninvited and pressed his erect penis against her. Our piece noted that Joseph had not yet publicly addressed the allegations, adding, “It will be interesting to see how much longer he’ll be able to remain silent.” Turns out Joseph’s silence on the topic lasted less than 24 hours longer. But rather than holding a press conference or speaking on video, Joseph chose an interview with the Denver Post’s Nicki Jhabvala. The result was a clever bit of spin control, albeit one that hardly lays the story to rest permanently.

Slacklining Hero Mickey Wilson Tells Ellen About Craziest Ski Lift Rescue Ever

The tragic death of San Antonio mom Kelly Huber on a Granby ski lift demonstrates that such devices aren’t risk-free, as a skier named Richard found out personally. Earlier this month, his backpack got tangled on an Arapahoe Basin lift, leaving him dangling from the chair by his neck. He almost certainly would have died were it not for the heroics of professional slackliner Mickey Wilson, who joined Richard to talk about the rescue on yesterday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Denver Police on Use of Force Draft Policy, Community Meetings Controversy

The controversy over a new Denver Police Department draft policy about the use of force flared up again last night at a contentious community forum at the Shorter Community AME Church, with activists, faith leaders and other community members letting Denver Police Chief Robert White and other officials how unhappy they are with the way the document was assembled and presented.

Report: Broncos’ Vance Joseph Rubbed Penis Against Two Unsuspecting Women

In our coverage earlier this week of revelations about past sexual assault allegations against new Broncos coach Vance Joseph, which were originally made public as part of the investigation into the CU recruiting scandal, we noted that the team would apparently try to “ride out” the negative publicity that might result from the incident, which dated back to the period when Joseph served as an assistant coach for the Buffs.

Inside Five of Denver’s Most Famous Zip Codes

Our zip codes say a lot about our income level, whether we realize it or not, as our previous list of the ten wealthiest zip codes in Denver made clear. But now, a website allows us to go beyond mere dollars and sense to get a better feel for the differences made by those digits in some of the Mile High City’s most iconic areas.

#KeepWade Hashtag Fails to Keep Wade Phillips From Signing With L.A. Rams

The #KeepWade hashtag had little effect on the status on the Denver Broncos staff of defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, one of the main architects of the team’s victory in Super Bowl 50. Mere hours after former Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph was introduced at a press conference yesterday, reports confirmed suspicions that Phillips had been named DC of the Los Angeles Rams — a woeful franchise, but one with a defense capable of much better things. Whether the same will prove true of Denver’s D will be among the more intriguing story lines of the upcoming season.

Kathy Lee on Bringing the Edge to KOA’s New Lewis & Logan Show

On day two of Lewis & Logan, the new KOA afternoon program that teams veteran broadcaster Dave Logan and The Fox’s Rick Lewis, Kathy Lee, the longtime Fox personality who also serves as a co-host, asked Logan if he ever has lesbian dreams with a casualness usually associated with questions about the commute to work or plans for the weekend. But far from balking at the question, Logan, the steadfast voice of the Denver Broncos, chuckled and played along, albeit without admitting he fantasizes about hot girl-on-girl action.
