From Edgewater Police Chief John Mackey:
Handgun Menacing
On 11/27/18 at about 1PM Edgewater Officers were dispatched to the commercial parking lot at 20th and Ames St on report of a menacing with a handgun.
A neighbor had been walking to the Dunkin Donuts and walked passed a white Toyota with a male and female sitting in their vehicle when the male said something to the neighbor. When the neighbor turned to face the male driver the driver pointed a black handgun at him chambered a round and told him to leave. The neighbor noted the license plate to the white Toyota, ran away from the Toyota and dialed 911.
Edgewater Officers put out an attempt to locate out on the white Toyota and responded to the Arvada address of the registered owner, although a “friend” had borrowed the Toyota. Arvada Officers subsequently were involved in a pursuit of the vehicle and foot pursuit of the 19 year old Arvada driver who was arrested with a stolen handgun.
Edgewater Officers were subsequently able to interview the 19 year old Arvada residence in jail who subsequently admitted to being involved in the handgun menacing in Edgewater – great job by our local neighbor and Edgewater Detective Sergeant Geerdes, Corporals Brink, Challis and Young, and Officers Green, Robenalt and Wolf, and the Arvada Police.
