Man arrested on suspicion of giving Longmont teen alcohol before sexually assaulting her
A 20-year-old Denver-area man has been arrested and accused of giving a Longmont teen alcohol before sexually assaulting her last month. Elquin Garcia Fajardo, who allegedly has used the alias 'Jonathan Garcia,' is charged of child sexual assault and second-degree contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Fajardo is currently in custody in lieu of a $500,000 bond and is set to next appear June 9 for a preliminary hearing. A booking photo was not immediately available. Around 12:29 a.m. April 2, Longmont police were notified of a 14-year-old who had been missing since 9:30 p.m. April 1. The teen's family told police they believed she could be with a man by the name of 'Johnathan Garcia' based on a message via Snapchat about picking her up, according to an arrest affidavit. The teen later got in contact with her family and she was found apparently 'under the influence of alcohol' and with a group of 'transient' people, according to the affidavit. Shortly after, she said she had been sexually assaulted, according to the affidavit. Police later learned through an interview with the teen that she had been talking over Snapchat with Fajardo and agreed to meet the evening of April 1. Fajardo reportedly picked her up from around the Sonic at 2339 Main St. in a red car, provided her with alcohol and drove in the area of Carr Park. While parked, she took puffs from what she thought was marijuana, according to the affidavit. The teen reported feeling like fainting, tired and dizzy when Fajardo reportedly sexually assaulted her in the car. She said someone called Fajardo using the teen's Snapchat account, according to the affidavit. Fajardo then reportedly drove the teen home and told her to get out of the car — when the teen said she didn't want to, Fajardo reportedly threatened to hit her, according to the affidavit. After being unable to get back into her home, the teen used an unhoused man's phone to call her mother, according to the affidavit. In the investigation, Longmont police used surveillance video from a housing area, traffic camera video and information from FLOCK cameras along roads; the Colorado state courts database; vehicle registration records; and law enforcement records resources called Accurint and Lumen to confirm Fajardo's identity and the apparent different locations of his red Chevy Camaro that night, according to the affidavit.

Alleged road rage shooter admits to an altercation with driver on I-70 West
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A man arrested in connection with a road rage shooting on Interstate 70 in west Columbus faced a judge Wednesday morning. Arrested was 33-year-old DeWayne Pittman after police traced his vehicle via Accurint technology following an incident that occurred on I-70 West, where a man was injured during an alleged road rage shooting. 'If you see one, please step on it:' What to know about an invasive bug Just after 7 a.m. Tuesday, officers responded to the area of I-70 West and the Hague Road exit after receiving reports of a driver shot. The caller, who was also the victim, gave police a description and license plate of a vehicle, a gold Chevrolet Equinox, which reportedly fled the scene north on Hague Rd. Police found the victim, who was driving a black Ford F-150 pickup truck, and a witness reported seeing the driver of the Equinox fire at the victim, who was suffering from a gunshot wound to the face. With the help of Accurint technology, police traced the car to an address on Andurs Avenue in Whitehall, where Pittman was found and taken into custody. Pittman admitted to police he was involved in an altercation and driving alongside someone driving a Ford F-150 on I-70 West. A Franklin County Municipal Court judge issued Pittman, arrested Tuesday and charged with felonious assault, a $500,000 bond and ordered him to next appear in court on April 25 for a preliminary hearing. A motion for a temporary order of protection was also granted. A Columbus city spokesperson said Pittman, who was working for the city as an employee of a subcontractor hired for the city's Enhanced Meter Project, is 'no longer employed on this project.' The Columbus Department of Public Utilities said Pittman was employed by VEPO, which is under contract with Sensus, the prime contractor for the city's meter project. The victim, who identified himself to NBC4 as Jesse Morris, was taken to an area hospital for treatment. He said he has a hole in his lower jaw and that doctors had to pick shrapnel out of his face. The shooting happened as he was on the way to a chemotherapy appointment, according to Morris, who will need another surgery as a result of the shooting. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
