\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nDenver Police announce Spring ‘DUI’ crackdown on Stapleton bike paths, sidewalks and trails. In an effort to combat the extra daylight and warmer weather, Denver Police are springing forward to crackdown on area residents who are intoxicated on their bicycles in and around Stapleton. “It\u2019s not just bicycles and skateboards, we have arrested 16 people already in a crackdown of parents with strollers transporting obscene amounts of liquor, along with their young children” stated Denver Police spokesperson Sonny Jackson. “The most obscene case was a woman who owned a four passenger side-by-side stroller, transporting three bottles of Pinot Grigio, a twelve-pack of O’Dell’s, a pint of whiskey, along with milk, sliced apples and a five gallon bucket of goldfish crackers.”\u00a0 Police records indicate the woman had a blood alcohol level of .13, which is above the Colorado legal limit.\u00a0 Jackson said he expects the problem to get worse before it gets better with the warmer weather.\u00a0 Local residents are not happy with the crackdown, however.\u00a0 \u201cThis is just another example of the police coming out here to Stapleton to give the residents a hard time,\u201d said resident Joel Johnson.\u00a0 \u201cI really don\u2019t want to see this unnecessary police badgering bring this community to the point of the Watts riots in \u201965 or in \u201992 after the King verdict.\u201d\u00a0 Police have a differing opinion.\u00a0 \u201cWe just can\u2019t allow one community to walk around with open containers and not another,\u201d continued Jackson.\u00a0 \u201cWe need to treat them like every other community in Denver.\u201d\u00a0 Resident Johnson partially agrees.\u00a0 \u201cWe are a lot like every other community in Denver, but much, much better.\u201d\u00a0 The Stapletonion believes all of this tension could use a shot.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
