Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The District Attorneys Office announced today that the three juvenile
fugitives apprehended last Friday will be returned to Arapahoe County to answer allegations of aggravated
robbery and kidnapping, arising from a carjacking in that jurisdiction. The carjacking occurred in Aurora,
Colorado on March 3, 2016. The juveniles were taken into custody in Routt County on March 4, 2016, and are
currently being held at a youth detention center on the Arapahoe County arrest warrants. A detention hearing is
expected to take place on March 8, 2016, and it is anticipated the juveniles will be transported back to Arapahoe
County this week.
District Attorney Brett Barkey stated, After consulting with the 18th Judicial District Attorneys Office
(Arapahoe County), we concluded that addressing the allegations of gun violence during a carjacking in Aurora
should take first priority over property crimes committed in Routt County. Having said that, we will continue
to work closely with authorities in the 18th Judicial District to ensure the rights and interests of our local victim
are protected.
DA Barkey said further, Our local law enforcement officers did an outstanding job apprehending these
fugitives last Friday without further incident or injury to anyone. Our community is fortunate to be served by
such dedicated professionals.
Charges are merely accusations and the juveniles are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
