Daniel Domin is back in the Routt County Jail today. The 39-year-old will be charged with violating his bond and other charges after a standoff with Steamboat Police Sunday night. Chief Mark Beckett say they came to arrest Domin for the bond violation after an arrest last week when he allegedly set his neighbor’s pickup truck on fire in the parking lot.
Police negotiated, then used tear gas, and then breached Domin’s apartment to get him into custody and back to jail last night.
Domin was also involved in an incident in July of 2022 when the FBI and Secret Service got involved because of threats and Steamboat Police found 15 firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Domin pleaded guilty to one count of felony stalking on that one. He has a court date scheduled for this Tuesday.

The historic Chief Theater in downtown Steamboat Springs has been vandalized. Windows are smashed, paint has been thrown on the carpets and graffiti has been drawn on the historical murals. It has happened within the last few months. An architect discovered it and caught some kids in the building but they ran out and got away. That’s according to Dagny McKinley, the Executive Director of Undiscovered Earth, who sent a press release Saturday. McKinley also says there are reports of someone living in the building over the summer.
The Chief Theater was built in 1926. It has been a movie theater and a stage for many performances. The current owners, Kori McClurg and Barry Sherman plan to renovate the building into a 350-seat theater with a balcony and a restaurant. Security cameras are now set up in the building.
