Steamboat Police have arrested a 35-year-old Steamboat Springs man and charged him with six felony counts of stalking. Then Steamboat Police got two search warrants last week, and seized 13 guns, including two shotguns, four AR-15s, and seven handguns along with thousands of rounds of ammunition and more than 100 fully-loaded handgun and rifle magazines. Here’s Steamboat Police Chief Sherry Burlingame.

“This suspect posed a significant danger to our community. We had multiple victims. And of those victims, there were numerous threats against each of them that varied in the nature of violence, but all of them were very violent in the context of it. So we were very concerned about his threat to our community, to the victims, as well as to our officers who were in the process of making the arrest on this. Fortunately, our detectives did a phenomenal job of working with our federal partners in collaboration and really doing their background work on this. When we made the arrest, we made sure that it was safe for our community and safe for our officers. And we got this individual out of our community very, very quickly once we became aware of the threats.”

Chief Burlingame expects to release the man’s name very soon. He is in custody and Steamboat Police have his weapons. Bail has been set at $25,000.

The Community Budget Center in Craig has added the Budget Boutique. It’s a part of the store that features name brand clothing or items that are brand new with the tags still on. Here’s Cathy Fejt with the budget center.

The Community Budget Center is a non-profit, second-hand store in Craig which gives back to the community.
