Boulder police arrest man in armed bias-motivated crime
DENVER (KDVR) — A man was arrested for allegedly threatening two people at gunpoint because of their ethnicity, Boulder police said. Just after 9 p.m. on Monday, Boulder officers were called to a gas station in the 2900 block of 30th Street in the Boulder Junction area. Boulder police said two Latino males told officers that they were pumping gas when a man they didn't know pointed a gun at them. The victims said the man made comments about their ethnicity. Suspected TdA member seen in Aurora viral apartment video arrested in NYC Police said Watch 3 Patrol officers identified 23-year-old Christopher Antonio Morris as a possible suspect. On Tuesday, officers, plainclothes detectives and Boulder's Special Enforcement Unit used surveillance to locate Morris at a grocery store on 30th Street. He was taken into custody without injury. During the time of Morris' arrest, police said he had a pistol with a laser attachment — similar to the one used in Monday's incident. Boulder police said Morris was booked into jail and is facing four counts of bias-motivated crimes and four counts of menacing. A judge set his bond at $20,000.
