Man arrested after multiple traffic stops, bicycle theft and admitting to DUI
DENVER (KDVR) — A driver encountered Summit County law enforcement at least three times last week, starting with a simple traffic stop for failing to stop at a stop sign.
According to the Summit County Sheriff's Office, the traffic stop resulted in the driver being given a citation for running the stop sign, as well as not having insurance or a valid driver's license. But that wasn't the last time the agency encountered the suspect.

The agency said that a 'short time later,' a different deputy initiated a traffic stop after seeing the same vehicle traveling at 79 mph in a 50 mph zone. The vehicle did not yield and crashed into a median before stopping on the shoulder of the road in Keystone.
The Summit County Sheriff's Office said the man got out of his car immediately and took off in the direction of a construction site. Deputies canvassed the area, but said they did not immediately find the driver.
They towed the man's car and confiscated two cell phones from inside the vehicle. Deputies also reported finding 'several empty beer cans' in the vehicle as well.
The next morning, a Keystone resident reported his bicycle had been stolen from his porch and had footage of the theft. The agency was able to identify the bike thief as the driver who had fled the day before.
Deputies went to the suspect's home, but did not find him. The suspect was later informed by a neighbor that deputies were looking for him, and he turned himself in to the Summit County Justice Center. During an interview with authorities, he admitted to both traffic stops, driving while intoxicated and stealing the bike to get home.
The suspect is facing charges of driving while ability impaired, eluding, obstruction, theft and speeding over 25 mph over the speed limit. He was booked into the Summit County Detention Facility.

Former U.S. attorney Damian Williams leaves Paul Weiss for Jenner & Block
Damian Williams, the former top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, is leaving the law firm Paul Weiss to join Jenner & Block, defecting from a firm that struck a deal with the Trump administration to sign on with one that fought it in court. Williams is the highest-profile attorney to join the exodus from firms that made deals with President Donald Trump this year. Trump has roiled the legal profession by targeting some high-profile law firms with punishing executive orders. Some firms sued to challenge his actions. Others instead made deals to avoid similar sanctions, outraging many lawyers within those businesses and across the legal profession.

Paul Weiss Loses Another Prominent Lawyer in Wake of Trump Deal
Paul Weiss, the elite law firm that was the first to strike a deal with the Trump administration to deflect a punishing executive order, is losing one of its most prominent new hires — the former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. Damian Williams, who joined Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison in January, shortly after stepping down as one of the nation's top federal prosecutors, is taking a job with Jenner & Block. The move, the latest in a string of high-profile departures, was announced on Friday by Jenner & Block, where Mr. Williams will serve as the co-head of the law firm's litigation and white collar practices. Unlike Paul Weiss, Jenner & Block chose to challenge an executive order aimed at punishing the firm for employing an attorney who had investigated Mr. Trump. Last month. a federal judge struck down that order, calling it 'doubly violative of the Constitution.' As U.S. attorney in Manhattan, Mr. Williams, 44, and his team secured a number of high-profile convictions, including in the fraud case against Sam Bankman-Fried, the former FTX cryptocurrency exchange founder. His office also was successful in convicting former New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez on public corruption charges. Before former President Joseph R. Biden tapped Mr. Williams to serve as U.S. attorney in 2021, he had led the office's securities and commodities task force. He also had served as a law clerk to former U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, a jurist with a liberal reputation. 'Jenner & Block fearlessly advocates for its clients and provides outstanding strategic counsel through their most difficult challenges,' Mr. Williams said in a statement. 'I've seen firsthand how this firm expertly tackles the toughest cases and lives its values.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
