Tobacco companies sell kid-friendly flavors, from Cherry Dynamite to Donut to Menthol. Over 2 million kids use e-cigarettes, and 85% use flavors. More than 1 in 4 Colorado high school students are hooked. We’re asking legislators to end the sale of flavored tobacco that the industry has used to addict our kids. Let’s put our kids’ health over Big Tobacco’s profits.

So, “that went well,” said absolutely no one at Aurora City Hall last Thursday morning. We all know now how Wednesday’s sacking of Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson was supposed to go down. City Manager Jim Twombly rang up Wilson last week while she was out of the country on vacation to give her the “Dear Vanessa” speech.
“It isn’t that you aren’t a great chief…times change…yada yada yada…It’s just the way things are.”
But the woman Twombly hired to push back against an entrenched police department sinking into a quagmire of “that’s just the way things are” wouldn’t accept it from the cops reporting to her, nor the boss she reports to.
Big surprise, huh?
Vanessa said, “no,” and as we all found out, she persisted.
What was supposed to be a “soft landing” for Wilson and the city, as described by Mayor Mike Coffman to The Denver Post, turned out to be a fiery crash of the city council, the city manager’s office and the police department.
It’s pretty apparent, there were no survivors.
Wilson stepped into a quagmire in the Aurora Police Department in December 2019 when all of the department’s “that’s just the way things are” chickens came home to roost. Former Police Chief Nick Metz bailed out just as endless debacles erupted in front of the international media involving innocent Black guys being killed during senseless confrontations, drunken cops, passed out behind the wheel of their police cruisers, being kept on the force and, well, even casual news observers know the rest of the lurid stories.
Those horrifying tales of racism, cruelty and systemic coverup resulted in tens of millions of taxpayer dollars paid to police victims and the state working with courts to force the city to clean up this mess and provide two things above all: accountability and transparency.
The city would no longer be able to sidestep the fact that a racist cop making racist rantings about “porch monkeys” during an investigation had to be given his job back after being fired because, “that’s just the way things are.”
And a police department so mired in racism and malfeasance, that arguably should have been shut down and rebuilt from the ground up, has actually begun to rise from the ashes of their self-immolation.
By and large, it’s because of Wilson, who steadfastly told the cops and the public, if you pull this crap, you’re fired.
And as more cops pistol whipped innocent Black guys again and union leaders made insultingly racist and sexist trash talk in a “private” email sent to hundreds of cops, she made good on her word and fired them.
And then she said to the other cops, if you think what these cops did is defensible, and “just the way things are,” then quit.
It wasn’t such things that Wilson said that changed the mind of the mother of Elijah McClain, it’s what Wilson did.
“The police department of Aurora has a history of killing people and justifying it with their rules,” McClain told TheSentinel. “That’s not right. She was cleaning it up, and they got rid of her. So nobody should be trusting that Aurora, Colorado is going to change.”
So. Without a clear “soft landing” path, there was suddenly a convenient “audit” of the records department that surfaced this week. It was a scathing assessment of how there were
“thousands” of untouched police reports allowing herds of criminals to roam free and create another mass school shooting like in Florida at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Leaked to the media, Wilson’s critics quickly began shrill calls to oust her for such “inexcusable” malfeasance.
It would have been the perfect linchpin to launch Wilson had it not turned out the guy who wrote the dire assessment is also a prolific social media poster of his right-wing extremist anti-BLM, anti-police reform and anti-”woke” rants, neck deep in the thin blue line, and clearly incapable of providing an objective assessment of the situation here in Aurora.
Even before headlines of the scandalous problem with police records grew stale, city officials were backpedaling from it. They said it was actually an old problem and, no, there aren’t scads of pervs walking the streets because nobody looks at old police reports and, it turns out, there aren’t that many reports.
Despite all that, the show, for whatever reason we don’t know, had to go on.
So Twombly gathered the press at city hall, one by one, he and others said what a great job Wilson had done at dragging the dire and dangerous police reputation out of the trash and, well, she just had to go.
She wasn’t fired because of the skyrocketing crime and shooting rate in Aurora, because, clearly, she’s not responsible for that in Denver, Colorado Springs and just about every large city in the nation suffering the same thing.
And no, she didn’t get fired because so many cops have left Aurora, because that, too, is happening in Denver, Colorado Springs and just about every large police department in the country.
“Chief Wilson prioritized community involvement. This is something we all recognize as a strength of hers,” Twombly told reporters. “However there is more to achieve that involves management of the police department. There also needs to be effective management of department operations, engagement with officers and staff and a strategic approach to moving the department forward.”
That strategy, which Wilson allegedly lacked, was, however, the same strategy that Wilson and
other city officials have been touting for months, dubbed “The New Way.” Wilson and city officials meted out the plan together last year to show the community how the embattled police department could move out of the shadow of abusing and even killing minorities and employing drunken and provocatively racist cops.
“The city had already begun implementing changes as part of its ongoing ‘New Way’ plan launched in 2020,” a press release touted yesterday, trying to reassure the public that it’s all going to be OK.
So, surviving Aurora officials have got their work cut out for them.
State Sen. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, a prime sponsor of Colorado’s sweeping 2020 police reform bill, which many Aurora cops opposed, was among the critics.
“The city’s action shows that restoring public trust and holding police officers accountable still is not a priority for our community,” Fields said. “This termination was deeply flawed, and I hope the city reconsiders this shameful and disruptive decision.”
It hasn’t been hard, however, for Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky to tell right-wing talk radio listeners why she wanted the chief out, out, out.
Jurinsky called Wilson, a decades-long veteran of the force, and the only woman man enough to stand up to generations of white, machismo tough-cop “love” in the history of the police department, “trash” said during a January radio broadcast. “Chief Vanessa Wilson is trash.”
Jurinsky only made very public the city’s worst kept secret that the white and tight right in the police department have for more than two years been outraged that a long, long list of cops were busted for “just the way things are,” and they were determined to get people elected to city council to right what they saw as the real wrong in the Aurora Police Department.
These cops have demanded someone at city hall take out the “trash.”
So someone did.
And sadly, here like so many places, that’s just the way things are.

That’s the percentage of students referred for mental health treatment in the Cherry Creek Schools District after being flagged by school teachers and others for exhibiting worrisome behavior indicating suicide ideation. The district has seen a jump in referrals after two years of remote learning and pandemic disruption. See the story on Page 6.
As alarming and disappointing it is that Aurora is back in the news as the home of a corrupt police department and an inept city government, it’s most vexing that, once again, the city has been wounded with another self-inflicted injury.
There’s no shortage of people to blame for the city being dragged into a sea of national worry and rebuke because of the harassment and virtual torture of Police Chief Vanessa Wilson, who was fired last week.
But there are clearly a select few responsible for a new quagmire that clearly was created to provide impetus, or cover, for the ill-fated political smear and ouster of Chief Wilson. It’s indisputable that a spurious and deceptive “review” of a longstanding police records problem in Aurora was used as fodder to incite or justify Wilson’s ouster.
Some members of city council have for months conspired with insurrectionist police officers, livid that Wilson has made good on promises to the community to hold cops accountable for thuggery, racism and abhorrent episodes of incompetence. This latest attempt to undermine police reform — by using an obviously tainted “review” — to purposely stoke fear in Aurora and subvert Wilson and police reform efforts crosses a line from political intrigue to unconscionable subterfuge.
The PRI Management Group review of a backlog of “transcribed” police reports in the APD records department is a bogus sham, a Sentinel story published Wednesday revealed.
Police and city hall officials knew the scathing, politicized and sensationalized report was a red herring, or they should have known.
Even before the content of this feint was made clear, The Sentinel reported that the author of the review, the company’s CEO, has a well-published history of anti-police-reform, anti-Black Lives Matter rants on social media.
The report itself was so blatantly provocative it should have set off red flags for police and city managers immediately.
Instead, it was used to bludgeon Wilson publicly and make an argument against her crusade to restore credibility and honor to the city’s embattled police department.
Among the spurious and inaccurate charges in the review:
• “Of particular importance is the fact that reports do not get routed by the system for follow-up action or investigation until the transcription process is complete.” In reality, police routinely follow up on cases, especially serious cases of crime, regardless of whether a record is “transcribed,” which has nothing to do with transcription as most people know it. It’s nothing more than a clerical curation of reports. City police and other officials point out that ALL records added to a case are immediately available to investigators and others, even if they are not “transcribed.”
• ”As a result of the delays in processing police reports, violent crimes reported to the Aurora Police Department may not be investigated for months, enabling suspects who might otherwise have been investigated and taken into custody, to re-offend.” In reality, city and police officials point out that “processing” these reports is not integral and often not even a part of meaningful police investigative processes.
• “It is administrative errors and failures such as this that lead to cases like the Charleston, SC church mass murder and the Marjorie (sic) Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, both of which would not have happened had law enforcement not erred in the processing of prior cases involving the suspects.” This alarmist and politicized statement is not only false, but cruel. Police associated with both of those mass shootings have never associated any records problems with suspects in the shootings.
• “Delays in the transcription process (of stolen cars or other property) can lead to officers having incorrect information in the field. Case in point: a stolen vehicle which has been recovered and returned to its rightful owner must be removed from CCIC, lest the owner risk being pulled over by an officer and detained at gunpoint based upon a computer query which indicates the car is still stolen.” This was easily debunked. Local and state police officials have made clear that Aurora, like most large police departments, report stolen and retrieved autos to the state CCIC database virtually in “real time.” Stolen car data does not languish in “un-transcribed” reports in Aurora, and trumping up the misnomer with more fear-baiting examples makes this report all the more suspicious.
Because this report is so rife with fakery, city officials must discard it immediately and terminate work with PRI Management Group. Taxpayers have every right to expect a refund from PRI Management Group for the $45,000 allotted for this instigative farce.
This odious report was only part of the problem.
Far more appalling is that it was weaponized against Wilson.
In numerous interviews, it’s become clear that City Manager Jim Twombly passed the report early on to Councilmember Dustin Zvonek, who at the end of an unrelated city council meeting March 28 launched into a tirade about the crisis at hand in Aurora because of a brewing police scandal. It’s unclear if others on city council also received an early heads up about the report.
After well-publicized efforts by Twombly failed to get Wilson to step down, and Wilson instead made public her fight against her firing, the unchallenged, spurious charges in this report were flung from radio talk shows, TV newscasts and social media posts, primarily from Zvonek and Mayor Mike Coffman.
This comes after months of public disparagement, insult and ad hominem attacks by Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky against Wilson, who admittedly has conspired on several occasions with disgruntled police officers to undermine Wilson and imminent police reforms.
Coffman, simultaneously saying he has no ill-will against the chief, has mimicked frequent baseless attacks on Wilson, especially as this controversy unfolded.
“The result of this backlog means that crimes, whether it’s a murder case or a motor vehicle theft, are going cold before they are ever investigated and that habitual criminals are allowed to reoffend before the rank and file at APD is made aware of the crimes that they’ve already committed,” Coffman wrote in an April 5 statement.
It’s false. And days after the report was made public, it’s unclear why no one in the city stepped up to the mayor to stop him from spreading disinformation.
Twombly sent the spurious PRI report to city council members the day before he fired Wilson. City lawmakers speaking anonymously said Twombly did not tell them
the report was damaged goods, but instead signaled that the report was accurate and bode ill for Wilson and the city.
And so the deceit in the report spread.
“Coffman told Denver talk radio host Jimmy Sengenberger of KNUS the next day that police reports must be transcribed before they are shared among police officers,” The Sentinel reported Wednesday. That’s also disinformation that should have been debunked by a city management team who knew it was false.
Councilmember Dustin Zvonek posted on Twitter April 6 that “over 2500 victims … didn’t have their case investigated” due to the backlog.
It’s absolutely false, and days after he received information about the report without ever questioning its validity or being offered advice on the false information by city officials.
What’s perplexing and disappointing is that Twombly has been a steadfast leader in the effort to push back against Aurora Police corruption and malfeasance. He has repeatedly ensured Wilson has been able to rightfully be transparent that abusive, racist and incompetent officers are held accountable.
This is not Twombly’s first rodeo as a city manager. He’s well aware that caving in to elected bullies in a city-council-manager form of government only invites further abuse and corruption of the government, and possibly his own ouster.
If Wilson’s performance rose to the level of dismissal in the very thick of the city’s most volatile period in history, he needs to hold himself to the same level of accountability and transparency he, and everyone in Aurora, expect of Wilson and the police department.
Why? Why now? And why play into this abhorrent ploy?
Coffman, Jurinsky and Zvonek have now destroyed their credibility on the issue of police reform and public safety with their dangerous collusion with insidious or simply misguided forces remaining in the police department. No longer able to credibly or effectively lead or even partake in what is the most important issue confronting the city right now, they should resign their seats.
At the very least, each should abstain from any city council vote or interaction involving public safety and police.
They are part of a growing problem in the country where elected officials feel empowered to treat anything they say as reality, regardless that it isn’t based in fact or reality.
The gaslighting from this city council caucus must end now. Lives have been ruined by some Aurora police, others gravely and permanently damaged. And still others have died at the hands of Aurora police, some of the innocents like Elijah McClain.
Because of the ghastly behavior of some officers, people of color in Aurora live in fear and dread of any interaction with police. Despite the dismissal of that fact by these elected officials and the crony cops they collude with, these critical deficiencies in the police department exist.
The decades-in-the-making policies that enabled crimes and malfeasance inside the police force to go unpunished and unabated must be routed out.
Aurora is at a loss how all this will happen now that there is not clear leadership in Aurora to make that happen.
Credible members of city council and Twombly owe all of Aurora, and Colorado, an explanation and assurances that the city can move past this debacle, again. Those free from delusion have a duty to assure residents they can be confident that the professional, compassionate and principled members of the police force and city leaders are in control of the most important reform effort in Aurora history.
Aurora’s City Council voted for a final time to eliminate the city sales tax on diapers Monday, making Aurora the first city in Colorado to waive local sales tax collections on both diapers and menstrual products, according to sponsor Curtis Gardner.
“This is a companion ordinance that really helps families in our city … both those with infants and then also adult diapers as well,” Gardner said. “This really does have a wide-ranging benefit in our city.”
The council voted to lift the 3.75% city sales tax on tampons and similar items in 2021.
Gardner also framed the measure in the context of a Colorado House of Representatives bill that would waive the state sales tax on diapers and menstrual products, a goal that has earned bipartisan support.
Council members voted 6-3 on Monday to waive the sales tax on diapers and adult incontinence products, with council members Danielle Jurinsky, Angela Lawson and Dustin Zvonek voting “no.” Councilmember Francoise Bergan was absent.
Jurinsky and Zvonek both said they would support a broader tax-cutting measure but not Gardner’s targeted cut, which Jurinsky characterized as arbitrarily “cherry-picking” an item to exempt from the tax.
“My hope is that, instead of creating yet another carve-out in our tax code, that we would look at a way to have a comprehensive, across-the-board reduction,” Zvonek said, adding that a broad cut would allow residents to keep more money while encouraging people to shop in the city.
“I understand and I truly do sympathize with the desire to try to lower the cost of living for our residents, but I don’t believe that this is good policy. It might be good politics, maybe. But I think it’s bad policy,” he said.
Gardner said he was “somewhat flabbergasted that the supposed fiscal conservatives on council do not want to support a tax cut that will benefit, essentially, everyone in our city,” including young children and the elderly.
Council progressives also supported the measure — Juan Marcano said he thought the council could do more to ensure residents are making a living wage but that he saw the waiver as “a little bit of harm reduction” that “could do some good.”
According to information included in the council’s agenda packet, the waiver will cost the city around $575,000 in lost sales tax per year. The waiver is scheduled to go into effect June 1, 2022.
— MAX LEVY, Staff WriterEmergency management staff at the City of Aurora are poised to gain access to a warning tool developed by the federal government to message cellphones in the path of natural disasters.
The Integrated Public Alert and
Warning System, established by the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency in 2006, spreads messages from partner agencies about wildfires, floods and other emergencies.
The emergency messages are transmitted to providers of AM, FM and satellite radio, as well as broadcast, cable and satellite TV. They’re also sent to wireless providers, who use cellular towers to broadcast the messages to cellphones in a specific geographic area.
FEMA’s website notes that cellular alerts can be sent “even if cellular networks are overloaded and can no longer support calls, text and emails.”
While Aurora could ask counties or the state to transmit messages now using the IPAWS platform, a proposed agreement between FEMA and the City of Aurora would allow the city to access the platform on its own, cutting out the middleman in situations where minutes and seconds could mean the difference between life and death.
“Having direct access to this system will be another tool in our public alert and warning capability to communicate with as many community members as possible in the event of an emergency,” said Matt Chapman, the city’s emergency manager.
Aurora’s City Council decided this week that the agreement could move forward to a regular meeting to be voted on formally — an early sign of support.
Chapman said getting FEMA’s blessing to use IPAWS involved an online training and adopting a notification software compatible with IPAWS. Aurora uses CodeRED software, which also has the ability to send emergency messages to residents’ cellphones.
CodeRED does not allow the city to send targeted messages based on the location of a phone, however, and members of the public must first sign up to receive alerts on their devices. The software also contacts residents via landlines, email and teletype machines used by people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Council members are scheduled to vote next week on the agreement, after which Chapman said Aurora will begin a several-month process of developing an internal use policy as well as training all employees who may use the system.

— KARA MASON, Managing EditorAfter declining during the pandemic due to online learning, the number of suicide risk assessments conducted on Cherry Creek Schools students has returned to pre-pandemic levels this school year.
Steve Nederveld, the district’s director of community partnerships for crisis intervention, gave a presentation on behavioral health at Cherry Creek’s Monday evening school board meeting, highlighting changes over the past two years.
Suicide risk assessments are conducted by a school’s mental health team after a student has been flagged for potential suicidal ideation. Referrals come in a number of ways, including students directly approaching staff members with suicidal ideation or teachers raising concerns.
The results of the assessment determine whether the student in question will be referred to receive some type of mental health treatment from a district or outside professional, chief health officer Michelle Weinraub told The Sentinel.
From the 2010-2011 school year to the 2018-2019 school year, the number of suicide risk assessments rose every year, Nederveld said, rising to a total of 2,215 in 2018-2019.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to an “immediate drop” in assessments, dropping by 24% from 2018-2019 to 2019-2020, and 41% from 2019-2020 to 20202021.
To date, the district has conducted 1,049 suicide risk assessments in the 2021-2022 school year according to district data, lower than the several years before the pandemic but “back to similar levels as prior to COVID” according to a presentation Nederveld shared with the board.
In response to a question from a board member, he said about 3%4% of screened students were referred to some kind of emergency services.
Threat assessments took a similar trajectory, according to district data. The number of assessments rose eightfold between 2012-2013 and 2018-2019, and dropped by about a third the following year. The district has conducted about 700 threat assessments so far this school year, Nederveld said.
Nederveld said that the decrease was likely due to the fact that because of online learning students
were not having as much face-toface interaction with teachers and other staff, not that they weren’t actually experiencing behavioral problems during that time.
Youth mental health issues have been an ongoing source of concern throughout the pandemic, with Children’s Hospital Colorado declaring a “state of emergency” last year.
Mental health advocates have raised the alarm about the lack of mental health treatment options in the state for young people, a problem Nederveld echoed.
“We keep hearing of more inpatient programs or day treatment programs closing their doors,” he said.
In response, the district has increased the amount of its own resources it is dedicating to mental health, and has plans underway to build a $7 million mental health day treatment facility for students in partnership with Centura Health.

— CARINA JULIG, Staff WriterA woman and a 5-year-old girl were killed the night of April 8, and three others were injured, in what officers believe was a drunk-driving crash Friday evening Chambers Road at East Sixth Avenue.
A 30-year-old Aurora man is in custody in connection with the crash.
At about 8:15 p.m., police responded to a crash involving four cars and an electric bicycle, according to a news release from the Aurora Police Department.
Investigators believe a red Honda CRV was traveling north in the 500 block of North Chambers Road when it crossed the center median and traveled into the southbound lanes, the release said. The vehicle struck an electric bicycle, the driver of which was able to dismount before the collision and left the scene.
The suspect vehicle continued north and struck an eastbound Honda CRV on East Sixth Avenue, then struck two other vehicles stopped for a red light in the southbound lanes of Chambers Road, the release said.
A 41-year-old woman in the Honda CRV that was struck was pronounced dead at the scene. A 43-year-old man, a 5-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy who were in the CRV were taken to an area hospital.
The 5-year-old girl died at the hospital from her injuries , police said.
The man remains in critical condition, and the boy was treated and released, police said. Drivers and passengers in the other vehicles were not injured.
The names of the victims will be released at a later date by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office after their families have been notified.
The driver accused of causing the collisions, Juan Pablo Pasqal-Li-
cea, was taken to the hospital as well and later arrested on charges of vehicular homicide and driving under the influence. He is currently in custody in the Aurora Detention Center.
The intersection was closed for most of the night and reopened at about 4:30 a.m.
— SENTINEL STAFFPolice said a 17-year-old Aurora girl “self-transported” to a local hospital sometime April 10 after being wounded during a shooting at 57 Eagle Circle, according to Aurora police.
The girl’s injuries are non-life threatening, police said.
“Investigation is in the preliminary stages,” police said.
No other details were released when police posted the shooting report on social media at about 8 a.m. Sunday.
— CARINA JULIG, Staff WriterPolice are investigating two double-shootings from Monday, leaving two teenagers wounded just after midnight, and a man and woman injured during a shooting later that morning.
Shortly after midnight, police said officers were called to a double shooting at East Alameda Avenue and South Peoria Street. Officers responded to a report of street racers blocking the intersection and setting off fireworks. When they arrived, officers encountered a teenage boy and girl who had both been shot, the police said on Twitter. Both victims are expected to survive. No suspects have been located.
Several hours later, police said they were investigating another double shooting, this one in the 1300 block of Xanadu Street.

— CARINA JULIG, Staff WriterA man serving a 25-year prison sentence for rigging computers to win lottery jackpots has had his parole revoked after he got into trouble in prison just before his scheduled release.
Eddie Tipton was approved for release by the Iowa Board of Parole on Jan. 20 because of good behavior. He had served nearly five years of his 25-year sentence. The board reversed its decision and rescinded his parole on March 10.
“He incurred a major discipline or major report within the institution after we granted the parole but before he was physically released,” said Iowa Board of Parole Chairman Andrew Boettger.
The Iowa Department of Corrections notified the board of the incident, the board reviewed it and “based on the nature of the discipline decided to rescind the parole grant,” Boettger said.
Boettger declined to specify what Tipton did before his release to deserve disciplinary action. A spokesman for Department of Corrections referred questions to Boettger. The prison system spokesman also denied a request to talk with Tipton at the state medium security prison for men in Clarinda.
Tipton had worked for an organization in Urbandale, Iowa, that
provided random number drawing computers to several states with lotteries. Investigators said he installed code on lottery computers that allowed him to predict the winning numbers on specific days. He, his brother Tommy Tipton of Texas, and others played the numbers he predicted and claimed winnings.
Eddie Tipton pleaded guilty in 2017 to ongoing criminal conduct and was ordered to repay $2.2 million in ill-gotten winnings from lotteries in Colorado, Wisconsin, Kansas and Oklahoma. Court documents indicate he still owes most of the money. He shared some of the restitution obligation with his brother, who collected some of the winnings.
An Iowa jury also convicted Eddie Tipton of attempting to take $16.5 million from a rigged Iowa Lottery game in December 2010, but the Iowa Supreme Court in 2017 overruled the decision, saying the state took too long to prosecute him.
Tipton, like all non-violent offenders with no mandatory minimum sentence, will come up for review again in a year and corrections officials could recommend him for parole again before that, Boettger said.
In Iowa, non-violent offenders with no mandatory minimum sentence are eligible for parole immediately. Typically the prison system evaluates when they’re ready for consideration and makes a recommendation to the parole board,
which does its own evaluation and determines whether the person is ready to transition to work release or parole and “has been rehabilitated and is ready to live a law-abiding life,” Boettger said.
Parole board documents indicate Tipton would have been allowed to move to Texas, where he has family including his brother.
At his 2017 Iowa sentencing hearing, Tipton told the judge he wrote software containing code that allowed him to predict winning numbers on certain dates. He gave those numbers to others who won lottery prizes and shared the winnings with him.
It’s not clear what happened to the money Tipton and his associates won between 2005 and 2011. Out of the seven known winning tickets that netted more than $2.2 million, Eddie Tipton claimed to have ended up with only $351,000.
Tipton, 59, has filed a lawsuit in state court claiming he was placed under duress to plead guilty. He also alleges that Iowa officials charged him for restitution in states for which it has no jurisdiction, and he says he can’t pay. A trial is set for Aug. 17.

A 17-year-old is facing arson charges in connection with a series of fires started early April 6 in Aurora.
Aurora Fire Rescue responded to a series of fires shortly after midnight on Wednesday in the Heather Ridge neighborhood in the area of Iliff Avenue and Peoria Street, according to information the department posted on social media.
There were approximately 10 individual fires, AFR Lt. Dan Pollet said, only one of which spread to the interior of a building. The others were in bushes, dumpsters and the exteriors of buildings.
“The majority of fires were quickly contained,” he said.
The structure fire was located in the area of S. Racine Way and S. Quentin Way, where crews responded to a two story multi-family building fire that affected three units, displacing 10 residents and several pets, Pollet said. The Red Cross assisted people who were displaced.
The fires were under control as of early Wednesday morning, and crews left the scene around 3 a.m., Pollet said. No injuries were reported to civilians or firefighters.
The fires are under investigation by AFR investigators, who work with the Aurora Police Department and other relevant agencies in investigating fires of a suspicious nature.
According to the Aurora Police Department, a 17-year-old male was arrested and charged with first-degree arson and will be prosecuted by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office. Due to his age, no other information will be released, the department said.

Agroup of art students from Aurora Central High School are stepping up to help Downtown Aurora Visual Arts with infrastructure upgrades so that the organization can continue to offer arts education to kids who might not otherwise have access to it.
Leadership Aurora class of 2022 organized the fundraiser, “Art is Magic”, for Thursday, April 14. Members of the community are able to purchase original artwork from the Aurora Central students in support of DAVA’s building on Florence Street.
BY CARINA JULIG, Staff WriterLeadership Aurora is a yearly leadership development program run by the Aurora Chamber of Commerce. Each class is responsible for putting together a project that gives back to a local nonprofit.
that most of DAVA’s money goes toward keeping its programs running. With Leadership Aurora’s support they will be able to put money toward things that feel like a luxury to address but “are really critical for our students,” she said.
The organization runs free art classes and summer programs for kids ages three through 12th grade, and pairs art with workforce development training for older students. Many of its programs bring the arts to students who wouldn’t otherwise be able to access those opportunities, Robinson said.
DAVA also partners with Aurora Public Schools to hold galleries for district art students, and has many Aurora Central students in its programs, she said.
with colored pencils that will be entered into the silent auction. They told TheSentinelit was exciting to have their work included in the fundraiser.
“I really looked forward to creating artwork to sell, it’s never something I’d never done before,” Torres said.
Because of DAVA’s involvement with APS, Robinson said that having students involved in the fundraiser felt like “a natural partnership.”

This year’s class chose to work with DAVA, and conducted a long term safety needs survey to determine its needs. Krista Robinson, DAVA’s executive director, said that the building needs more exterior lighting because many of its programs for students run into the evening. It also needs upgrades to some of its doors and to the courtyard area where students do work and take breaks.
Leadership Aurora hopes to raise $15,000 to cover those costs for DAVA with the silent auction fundraiser this Thursday at The People’s Building.
As a nonprofit organization, Robinson said
Mehran Ahmed, the incoming president of the arts magnet school that will open on the ACHS campus in the fall, is a member of this year’s Leadership Aurora class and worked with the school’s art teachers to have art students donate pieces to the silent auction.
“He wanted to be able to have students here give back to the community with really great high quality artwork,” art teacher Deb Abbott said.
Each of the school’s six art teachers have selected five or six pieces of student artwork that students have agreed to donate to the auction. The pieces are in a variety of mediums, including photography, ceramics, drawing and painting, Abbott said.
Senior Alejandro Torres and sophomore Gabby Martinez both have drawings they created
She’s excited for district students to have more opportunities to explore the arts next year with the opening of the magnet school, which students in a DAVA program designed the logo for. A number of program students are enrolled in the incoming freshman class, and the organization hopes to partner with the school, which has said it plans to work with many of the area’s surrounding arts and theater groups.
“It’s really a wonderful community partnership, all of us at DAVA are really excited,” Robinson said.
The fundraiser will take place at The People’s Building, 9995 E. Colfax Avenue, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday April 14, with a silent auction from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and a magic show by Professor Phelyx from 7:30 to 8:30.

Ok, Mensa members, time for you to dust off those quarantine cobwebs and flex those frontal lobes for the world to see, just like you love to do in every possible conversation. Who played The Skipper in “Gilligan’s Island?” What are the six naturally occurring noble gases? What is Editor Dave Perry’s middle name? No matter the manner of questions that emanate from the north Aurora watering hole on any given Monday, it’s a plenty good excuse to put on your smarty pants and show off your largely useless knowledge at Cheluna Brewery. But honestly, we know you just want to be able to brag about how your team, Quizzie McGuire, maintains the sharpest wits in all the land. And if you can’t make it this week, fear not. The Cheluna crew runs the same game at the same time in the same place every gosh darn week. Rejoice, nerds. (Hint: The middle name starts with L.)
Open through June 19, exhibit included in the price of admission. 7711 E. Academy Blvd. Denver, CO 80230. Monday-Saturday: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday: 12 p.m. - 5 p.m. Visit www.wingsmuseum.org for more information.
In the span of one lifetime, mankind went from having no instances of significant flight to landing on the moon. It’s the kind of innovation that makes anything feel possible, and it’s all on display at Wings Over the Rockies through June 19. “Skyward: Breakthrough in Flight” examines all of the major milestones that have gotten us to where we are today: simultaneously curious about commercial flights to the final frontier and also wondering how Frontier could possibly give us less leg room. From the very beginning through today and what’s next for flight, you won’t want to miss the stories and artifacts collected by curators at Wings. The exhibit is on through the beginning of the summer.
March 11 — Aug. 7 Clyfford Still Museum 1250 Bannock St., Denver Wednesday-Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. tickets $10 adults and free for children 17 and under, purchase online at clyffordstillmuseum.org
Have you ever wondered what an art exhibit designed by young children would look like? Through August, the Clyfford Still museum is bringing this unique idea to life in an exhibit that was “co-created” with children across the Front Range. Clyfford Still was a leading figure in the abstract expressionist movement, and the Denver museum that houses a large collection of his work is carrying on his iconoclastic legacy with this exhibition, which is part of an initiative to welcome children into the museum. The first four galleries will feature Still’s work, with paintings hung at a low eye-level specifically for young viewers. The rest will display artwork that children from six months to eight years old from Fort Collins, Denver, Lafayette and Boulder helped curate. According to the museum website, these local children “selected and arranged their favorite artworks; shared their perspectives for the gallery and audio content; and helped design interactive activities.” Really puts a new spin on the jab that modern art is so abstract that “a child could do it.”
Free admission, ages 21+. 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Location: 2801 Tower Rd Aurora, CO 80011. Four person table is $50. Six person table is $75. www. drydockbrewing.com.
If apricot beermosas and an adult egg hunt sound like your kind of Easter Sunday, then you’re lucky to be in Aurora these days. Dry Dock Brewing is the place to be this weekend, and the egg hunt prices aren’t looking disappointing: there will be gift cards to Aurora favorites like Nick’s Garden Center, Epiphany Tattoo, Sam’s Meatmarket and more. The brewery is also giving away a private Intro to Beer Making or Intro to Wine Making class with The Brew Hut. All you have to do is find the right egg. Round up your friends (because duh, beermosas and avocado toast are always better that way). Tables of four are $50 and a brunch box provided by The French Press are $10.

While most boys swimming programs would be happy with winning just one state championship, Regis Jesuit is the midst of what it could consider a “drought.”
The most successful program historically in Colorado — with 22 state championships to its credit — hasn’t hoisted the top prize since back in 2018, but early season indications show that No. 23 could be ahead.
Regis Jesuit leads the charge of what is shaping up to be a special season in Aurora, where Smoky Hill and Grandview and possibly Cherokee Trail could be top 10 teams at the Class 5A state meet.
2018 — with Fossil Ridge earning the title three times (after stopping the Raiders’ run of four straight in 2015) and Cherry Creek taking the 2019 and 2021 titles. The 2020 season got wiped out completely by the coronavirus pandemic.
Connections to Regis Jesuit’s championship -winning past can be found in the alumni on the coaching staff, which includes Hennessey Stuart and Jay Kim, who were both individual and team state champions in their times. Stuart went on to swim at Division I North Carolina State, while Kim was the Division II Swimmer of the Year for Drury University in 2010 and swam professionally in his native South Korea.
Chris O’Sullivan, part of the program’s success in the 1990s, is also on the staff.
It used to be that there were multiple senior classes in the Regis Jesuit program that knew nothing but winning and several graduated with four wins in four years. But this year’s senior class is working to get their first.
BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor“Getting to that top level, that No. 1 spot, is such a tough thing,” Regis Jesuit head coach Nick Frasersmith said April 12 after the Raiders wrapped up their dual meet season with a win over the Ponderosa co-op team.
“I think you don’t know that until you fall off,” he added. “Then you realize how hard it is to get there and maintain it. Everything has to come together and fall in line and truly you have to do it as a team.
“I think this team is figuring it out.”
Regis Jesuit has been runners-up five times in the previous six seasons — save for the win in
“The team has a lot of respect for those guys,” Frasersmith said. “They’ve been there and done that and they went to big programs. They definitely bring that winning experience.”
This year’s senior group is the driving force behind a team that looks like it could regain the state’s top spot for Regis Jesuit.
Leading the way is Gio Aguirre, who won the 100 yard freestyle at last year’s 5A state meet and looks ready to match that and do more this season. In PrepSwimCo.com’s 5A rankings through April 5, Aguirre — who is headed to the Naval Academy next year — held the top spots in the 100 freestyle and 200 yard individual medley.
Luke Dinges topped the early 5A rankings in the 100 butterfly and was third in the 100 backstroke, Jacob Sykora — a co-captain with Aguirre — has top-20 times in two events and Mack Dugan is top-10 in a pair of events.
The Raiders also got a big boost in the arrival of junior Hawkins Wendt, a sprint freestyler who
is ranked No. 3 in the 50 freestyle. Junior Ronan Krauss has multiple top-10 rankings.
Regis Jesuit is ranked No. 1 in the 200 medley and 400 yard freestyle relays as well. The 400 freestyle provided the key to victory in a headto-head dual win over Cherry Creek, while saw the Raiders finish first and second in the event to seal a big win over the rival Bruins.
“That gave us a boost of confidence and showed us we are in the ballpark,” Frasersmith said. “But the state meet is totally different.”
The success so far this season hasn’t been exclusively for Regis Jesuit, however.
In PrepSwimCo.com’s first set of rankings, Smoky Hill appeared third and has swimmers up and down the rankings.
Sophomore Jake Baker turned in the top 500 yard freestyle time in the early going, while sophomore Daniel Yi is second in the 100 breaststroke (having set the Grandview pool record earlier) and is fourth in the 50 freestyle, while coach Scott Cohen’s Buffaloes have all three relays in the top seven. Joshua Nieves and Isaac Yi also had at least one top-five spot.
Grandview had the potential for the sixthmost points in the opening rankings and coach Dan Berve’s Wolves owned the top time in the 400 freestyle relay with a time that was two-seconds faster than Regis Jesuit in the early going.

Police and city officials say a record-keeping backlog reported in a scathing study of the Aurora Police Department has not delayed criminal investigations, contradicting suggestions by the study’s author and raising more questions about the release of the document that preceded Police Chief Vanessa Wilson’s firing.
The study by PRI Management Group sounded the alarm on thousands of police reports which, as of March 11, APD’s records section had yet to “transcribe” — the process of checking reports for form and attaching national crime category numbers that help with the collection of criminal justice statistics.
“We’ve seen this narrative out there that we’re not investigating murder cases,” said Acting Police Capt. Chris Amsler during a Friday interview with The Sentinel. He said he spoke with a lieutenant in the major crimes unit who told him that none of the police reports in the backlog had negatively impacted any murder investigation.
While Amsler acknowledged that records specialists have not reviewed every one of the 2,512 backlogged reports — reduced to 295 cases pending transcription as of Tuesday afternoon — he said police “do not believe that any of those cases that were in the transcription queue affected any of our investigations.”
Officials described transcription as a clerical process that is not required before criminal investigations and follow-up take place. That conflicts with dire warnings from the study’s author that violent crimes were likely going cold and dangerous criminals walking free because of the backlog.
Police also said statements by others that thousands of crimes had been left uninvestigated were inaccurate.
“That’s not the case at all,” Amsler said.
Soon after the report by PRI Management Group became public on April 5, city council members who endorsed Aurora City Manager Jim Twombly’s decision to fire Wilson, characterized the backlog as a critical public safety threat and as evidence of leadership collapse.
Mayor Mike Coffman wrote in an April 5 statement that there was “no excuse” for the “catastrophic failure of leadership within the department,” regarding the PRI report.
“The result of this backlog means that crimes, whether it’s a murder case or a motor vehicle theft, are going cold before they are ever investigated and that habitual criminals are allowed to reoffend before the rank and file at APD is made aware of the crimes that they’ve already committed,” he wrote on April 5.
Coffman told Denver talk radio host Jimmy Sengenberger of KNUS the next day that police reports must be transcribed before they are shared among police officers.
Numerous police and city officials said police records are immediately available to other police personnel once submitted, prior to transcription.
Councilmember Dustin Zvonek also posted on Twitter on April 6 that “over 2500 victims … didn’t have their case investigated” due to the backlog.
Police and city officials also said the transcription process does not and did not preclude police from pursuing case resolutions.
While the PRI study did not claim 2,512 cases went cold because of a report backlog — describing transcription as “the process of reviewing reports for quality control purposes” — the author and PRI’s founder, Ed Claughton, said “reports do not get routed by the system
for follow-up action or investigation until the transcription process is complete.”
“As a result of the delays in processing police reports, violent crimes reported to the Aurora Police Department may not be investigated for months, enabling suspects who might otherwise have been investigated and taken into custody, to re-offend,” Claughton wrote. “It is a near certainty that violent offenses are being reported without timely investigation.”
Police officials said they have not uncovered any crime that was not investigated because of the backlog, though they pointed out the report publicized last week was only part of a larger study being completed by PRI.
Amsler also said police officers can and regularly do view records that are in the transcription backlog queue, and that a detective who pulled up information about a case associated with backlogged reports would automatically be notified about the existence of those additional reports.
Once a police officer is called to the scene of an alleged crime, they’ll write an initial report associated with the case called a general offense report, Amsler said. Officers who showed up at the scene or were otherwise involved will also prepare supplemental reports, describing their involvement.
Officers are required to submit reports by the end of each shift. Once a report is completed by an officer, they submit it to a sergeant who routes the case to other officers or detectives for investigation, or closes the case. Amsler said felonies are referred to investigative units while misdemeanor cases are often handled by patrol officers.
“There are certain crimes where a watch commander or a patrol sergeant is making immediate notifications to different detective units to let them know (that) we have this case,” he said.
National Crime Information Center codes are also attached to cases based on what the offense is alleged to be — some codes entered by officers, including those for crimes against children, cause the report to be automatically and immediately forwarded to the relevant investigative unit.
The sergeant also proofreads the report, checking for any mistakes and making sure the officer entered all necessary information. Once it’s approved, the report is sent to the records section for transcription.
Depending on the seriousness of the crime and other factors, such as an arrest or a next-day court date, the sergeant may assign the report a higher or lower priority, moving it up or down in the transcription queue, Amsler said. A request for a report from a citizen or police officer will also increase the priority of a report.
Amsler and Sgt. Faith Goodrich both said reports in the queue are still accessible by officers, and an officer pulling up information about a case in the department’s Versadex records management system would be automatically notified about associated reports in the queue.
“Detectives or other officers can go in and view anything in the transcription queue,” Goodrich said. “(A report) being in the transcription queue doesn’t mean it’s just lost and nobody can look at it, or see it, or do anything with it. In fact, the system is built to send you a notification and say, ‘Hey, go look over there.’”
During the transcription process, a records section staffer will make sure the proper data is submitted for the National

Records staffers also make sure there are no duplicates among the “entities” mentioned in the report, which are tracked by police and include suspects, witnesses, victims and others contacted during an investigation.
Sometimes records clerks have caught mistakes, Goodrich said, bringing information they believe could have been overlooked during an investigation to the attention of officers.
“That is helpful,” Goodrich said, “but it’s not their responsibility.”
“It’s much more administrative or clerical,” public safety media relations manager Reagan Peña said. “It doesn’t prevent any investigation from happening.”
Claughton also indicated that delays in transcription could lead to data not being submitted in a timely way to the Colorado Crime Information Center, which helps criminal justice agencies track information about stolen property.
“A stolen vehicle which has been recovered and returned to its rightful owner must be removed from CCIC, lest the owner risk being pulled over by an officer and detained at gunpoint based upon a computer query which indicates the car is still
stolen,” he wrote.
Goodrich said the entry of CCIC information about stolen property does not depend on transcription, writing in an email that “officers notify records directly with information about the stolen property so it can be immediately entered into CCIC.”
Police spokesman Matthew Longshore also said that information about stolen cars is generally reported to CCIC in real-time.
Claughton also warned in his study that Aurora’s problems could hinder police from intervening prior to an event like the mass shootings in Charleston, South Carolina and Parkland, Florida.
“I don’t know the answer to why they think that,” Goodrich said. “It’s unfortunate.”
Other police officials also said they were confused by the example, since the Parkland or other shootings the PRI report referred to were not deemed to have been caused by problems with police records.
Amsler noted that the police department’s intelligence unit accepts tips about individuals who officers or members of the public believe could pose a threat in the future.
“That’s primarily how we get things moving in our department, is making those in-person contacts instead of relying on reports to make it through the
released, on April 6, Twombly announced his decision to fire Wilson. When asked by reporters, he said the report was not considered when the decision was made to fire the chief.
Though Claughton blamed department leadership for the problems facing the records section, PRI later said in a statement that Claughton’s report was not meant to “evaluate or impact the employment of the Chief of Police.”
“To suggest anything to the contrary, or to politicize this matter, is very unfortunate, mostly for the citizens of Aurora, and for the very important institution of journalism,” the firm wrote in an April 7 statement. “Our work is based on fact-finding, objective analysis and was completed as per the requirements of our scope of work in response to a competitive solicitation for these services.”
The Sentinel previously reported on social media activism by Claughton and allegations of professional misconduct dating back to his firm’s 2012 audit of the Milwaukee Police Department.
Elected officials who commented on the report did not immediately distance themselves from earlier statements made about the public safety consequences of the backlog.
“did not have any additional context or information to supplement what was contained within the report” and that the DA “simply made his statement based upon what he read in the report itself.” Kellner’s office did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
Since the public revelation of the transcription backlog, which dated back to March 11, the department has been able to cut the size of the backlog down from 2,512 reports to just 295 as of April 12, according to Goodrich. Amsler said the majority of reports left in the queue are “minor cases.”
Twombly has said that, since March, before Wilson’s firing, the department implemented a host of new strategies, which Wilson’s lawyer says were recommended by the ex-chief, including:
• Assigning a police lieutenant with prior records management experience to oversee the section.
• Transitioning to fully in-person work in the records section.
• Temporarily closing the section to the public on Wednesdays to focus on transcription.
• Training sergeants on quality control measures to fix reports before they’re submitted to the records section.
• Temporarily assigning officers on light duty to the records section.
transcription queue,” he said.
Claughton’s firm did not respond immediately to an email asking how he arrived at the conclusions about the transcription backlog impacting investigations and how the problems in the records section could be setting the city up for an incident like the Charleston and Parkland shootings.
“PRI commenced work for the City of Aurora in January 2022 … during which time our team identified critical levels of backlogged work which, in no uncertain terms, had created significant risk and liability to officer and public safety,” the firm said in an April 7 statement. “We also determined woefully inadequate measures, and urgency, had been given to the matter by the police department, hence our March 14th project update.”
City spokesman Michael Brannen said PRI’s contract with the city is worth up to $46,150. The firm’s report was released as partisan, political controversy swirled over the leadership of Vanessa Wilson, Aurora’s then-police chief. A few weeks prior, Wilson’s attorney said City Manager Jim Twombly had pressured her to resign.
Some council conservatives were also advocating for a shake-up, blaming department leadership for the rise in certain crimes and alleged low morale among rank and file officers.
The day after the report was
Coffman did not respond to a request for comment on the discrepancy between his characterization of the transcription process and police officials’ descriptions.
Zvonek said his statements were consistent with the suggestions made in the report and information shared with him by City Manager Jim Twombly. He said that he would be asking questions of records section representatives at the public safety policy committee’s April 14 meeting, adding, “I have a lot of questions.”
“I’m worried that some are attempting to downplay it to avoid the scrutiny,” he wrote in a text message. “I also worry others may have over responded to the report out of fear of how bad it could have been given what (was) suggested (in) the report.”
17th Judicial District Attorney Brian Mason and 18th Judicial District Attorney John Kellner said in a joint statement last week that they were “alarmed” by the report.
“Failures in processing police reports of new crimes or processing reports in ongoing investigations must be remedied immediately to both protect the public and the integrity of existing cases,” they wrote. “Once that is done, we urge city leaders to determine how these failures occurred and ensure that they do not happen again.”
Chris Hopper, director of communications for Mason’s office, said April 11 that Mason
• Automating more of the records management system to reduce errors.
• Adding more records technicians and a supervisor as well as an open records coordinator to process CCJRA requests.
• Conducting a pay study to ensure the city can continue to hire and retain records staff.
• Prioritizing “significant” cases that require more investigation or jail follow-up.
City spokesman Ryan Luby said that, later this month, PRI is expected to return its completed staffing study. Peña said the city hopes the finished study will help clarify where and how records section employees work to ensure a backlog doesn’t build up in the future.
“What we’re hoping to do is see (whether there is) a best practice on how we should be allocating staff and prioritizing the numerous things besides transcription that are actually going on down there,” she said.
Amsler said the department is also looking into further automating transcription. Regardless of the critical light shone on the records section, he insisted that those staffers responsible for transcribing reports were not to blame for the backlog.
“Our records staff are some of our greatest employees,” Amsler said. “This is not their fault. They’ve been working hard, they’ve been understaffed, and they have really been trying to work on this issue.”
Surrounded by supporters on the steps of the headquarters of her now-former employer, Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson said Monday she intends to continue to fight to ensure police reform continues, that policing is improved and those officers who abuse the system or citizens are held accountable.
“Leadership is not a popularity contest,” she said, attributing her ouster to political pressure stemming from police who do not want to see changes. “There should not be partisan politics in public safety.”
Supporters took turns praising the work Wilson did and criticizing her ouster.
“When Chief Wilson was in charge, I found my voice,” an officer of color said anonymously in a statement read by Aurora Police Sgt. Paul Poole. “I worry about the direction this department is going.” The officer said he or she doesn’t want to return to unethical officers not being held accountable. “Which of the officers that Chief Wilson fired do you want patrolling your neighborhood?”
Some current city lawmakers also warned about the consequences of the ouster.
Councilmember Juan Marcano said, “what you are seeing is a concerted, organized campaign to undermine and sabotage” the changes that community members demanded in 2020. “You are seeing a police department at war with itself.”
Former city and state officials also decried the ouster.
“APD is broken, and council’s solution was to destroy the only thing that had been going right,” said former Councilmember Debi Hunter Holen.
Wilson was fired by City Manager Jim Twombly last week for what he said was a lack of confidence in her ability to lead the department. The ouster came after months of criticism by conservative members of city council, and more recently, days of rumors that the termination was imminent.
“Chief Wilson prioritized community involvement. This is something we all recognize as a strength of hers,” Twombly said at the press conference. “However, there is more to achieve that involves management of the police department. There also needs to be effective management of department operations, engagement with officers and staff, and a strategic approach to moving the department forward. There are two main themes that continue to rise up top of concerns overall management, and overall leadership. This is a deci-
sion that came with a considerable amount of thought and ongoing discussions with officers in the police department.”
Twombly didn’t offer a specific event or instance that led to his decision, but he told reporters that he didn’t decide based on the rise in crime or a recent outside report by PRI Management Group detailing problems in APD’s records section.
That report was leaked to the press one day prior to Twombly’s decision to fire Wilson. City Council members said they received the report from the city manager that same day. Two city council members said Twombly told them the report revealed critical concerns.
Wilson, who would have marked her 26-year anniversary with APD this December, was appointed by Twombly to lead the department in August 2020 after serving as interim chief for seven months. She took the helm at a time the department was reeling from protests following the death of Elijah McClain and several other scandals, and much of her tenure was spent attempting to rebuild the public’s trust.
Wilson has faced criticism from activists and police reform advocates throughout her tenure, but after her firing, many told The Sentinel that, though they disagreed with her at times, they said they came to respect her a great deal.
“I hate to see Chief Wilson go, because she was really a good person,” Elijah McClain’s mother Sheneen McClain told The Sentinel. Her son, Elijah, died after a confrontation with police in August 2019 while walking home from a convenience store. The case drew international scorn and is much of the basis of state intervention in the police department and prompted hard-won police reform.
Lindsay Minter, an activist and member of Aurora’s Community Police Task Force, said that Wilson was her second-choice candidate for the top job and that, while they didn’t always see eye-to-eye, she thought Wilson “was doing the best job for the position she was in.”
Ultimately, Minter said that Wilson made too many changes that rattled the “the good old boys club” and was set up to fail.
“We didn’t always agree, but thank you for your service,” she said of Wilson.
Wilson was the first woman and the first openly gay person to lead the department, and at Monday’s press conference several of her supporters praised her for breaking barriers.
“Chief Wilson was the pathway for equity and for justice for women, for those who are LGBTQIA+, for victims and survivors like me who had no choice in how our lives played course,” Senator Rhonda Fields (D-Aurora) said in a statement read Monday by her daughter
Maisha Fields.
Asked at the press conference if she believed discrimination played a role in her firing, Wilson said she was directed when she took the job to mend relationships with the community.
“To send a woman out to do that, to trust me to do that, and to hold people’s hands that were angry, and to listen to them and to try to tell them ‘please still believe in APD because of the fine men and women who work there’ … if I’m able to do that, but once we’ve crossed that bridge, now I’m told that I can’t lead,” was hurtful, she said.
Wilson took over leadership of the department right as Aurora was undergoing sweeping protests demanding justice for Elijah McClain, and when APD was in the midst of several scandals, including an incident where police officers held a Black woman and her four daughters face-down at gunpoint and after erroneously accusing them of driving a stolen car.
In another incident, an investigation found that after an APD officer was found passed-out drunk behind the wheel of his patrol car while on duty, leaders in the department protected him from being criminally charged. That situation led former Deputy Police Chief Paul O’Keefe to pull his name from the running to be interim chief after Nick Metz returned in 2019, putting Wilson in the position instead.
More controversy came in 2021, when body-camera footage was released of an APD officer strangling, pistol-whipping and repeatedly threatening to shoot an unarmed man, an incident that led to two officers facing criminal charges.
In the fall, the police department entered into a consent decree with the Colorado Attorney
General’s office after a “patterns and practices” investigation found that APD had engaged in longstanding discrimination and excussive use of force against minorities.
During her tenure as interim chief and police chief, Wilson fired a number of officers for misconduct, some of whom appealed her decision to the civil service commission, which has final say over the hiring and firing of officers. In the summer of 2020, she fired three officers who posed for and texted one another a photo mocking the death of Elijah McClain, and she fired one officer for failing to intervene in the pistol-whipping case (the other resigned).
Earlier this year, she fired former Aurora Police Association President Doug Wilkinson following an investigation into an email he wrote mocking the department’s diversity policies.
“To match the ‘diversity’ of ‘the community’ we could make sure to hire 10% illegal aliens, 50% weed smokers, 10% crackheads, and a few child molesters and murderers to round it out. You know, so we can make the department look like the ‘community,’” Wilkinson said in the email.
Wilson’s attempts to hold officers accountable were not always popular with the rank-andfile. In the fall, Aurora’s police unions released a non-binding survey declaring that the majority of the department’s officers had lost confidence in her leadership.
In the wake of previous criticism, Twombly had stood behind Wilson. Following the no-confidence vote seven months ago, Deputy City Manager Jason Batchelor said Wilson was responsible for making “difficult, and at times, unpopular decisions” and had his full support.
“She was selected because we believed, and still believe, that she is the right person,” he said.
In a July letter in The Sentinel, Twombly detailed his commitment to the ‘A New Way’ plan put forward by him and Wilson to reform the department, but cautioned that meaningful change would take time and effort.
“I want our reform efforts to have long-lasting success and a positive impact on community members,” he said. “Some of them, which seek to solidify large-scale systemic change, will require tough conversations and adjustments along the way.”
Asked Monday to elaborate on the reasons for her firing, Wilson said she believed they were political in nature and that the issue with the records backlog was a convenient excuse.
She disputed Twombly’s assertion that he was only aware of the records problem when the PRI report came out, and said that he had congratulated her for bringing the problem to his attention earlier.
She declined to place the blame for her ouster entirely at his feet, however, saying that Twombly is “a good man” who had stood by her when she faced criticism for making tough decisions in the past.
“I would like to give him some grace in this,” she said. “I know he is under extreme political pressure whether he wants to admit it or not.”
Wilson said she is “considering all options” with her lawyer, Paula Greisen, but declined to say whether she will be suing the city.
She said she doesn’t know what her next steps will be, but she is exploring “ways I can serve this community as well as law enforcement somewhere in the future.”
The Predators Cup turned out to provide a morsel for both schools involved. The traveling trophies that have come into the boys and girls lacrosse rivalry between Grandview and Cherokee Trail — an homage to the mascots of Wolves and Cougars, respectively — didn’t end up in the same place this time.
Grandview had been the apex predator for the past two years with custody of both trophies, but ended up with just the boys this time, while Cherokee Trail came away with the girls prize.
2014. That makes eight wins in the last nine years, while the 2020 matchup was wiped out by the coronavirus pandemic.
“That’s the game of the season for us always, Grandview vs. CT,” John Alie said. “It’s been building up at school all week long, so it’s great to come out on top.”
Alie led the state in goals last season and he is only three off the pace in Class 5A so far with help from the eight-goal explosion, which included three in the opening quarter, which ended with Grandview off to a great start at 6-2.
“There’s a lot of emotion throughout the week, but you have to let them go out and play
The Predators Cup arrived as part of the boys matchup back in 2014 and added an extra layer to a rivalry that already had both teams looking forward to it as the non-playoff game of the year.
BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports EditorGrandview players admitted to some sleepless nights in anticipation of the matchup, but it played better than they hoped.
After a couple of sleepless nights of buildup as they dealt with the deep emotions that go into their matchup with rival Cherokee Trail, the Wolves played to perfection in stretches and held off the Cougars when it mattered on their way to a 21-12 win in front of a large crowd at Legacy Stadium.
Senior John Alie racked up eight goals and three assists while sophomores Joe Alie and Liam Szarka added three goals apiece for Grandview, which has won the Predators Cup every year since the trophy came into the rivalry in
with it,” Grandview coach Keith Lindgren said.
Lindgren — an alum who said Cherokee Trail didn’t exist when he played at Grandview — was pleased to see such a strong start, which hasn’t been the case for the Wolves at the beginning of the season, where there had been some slow opening quarters.
Grandview lost to Colorado Academy and Kent Denver — and also challenged Regis Jesuit — but the result against a quality Cherokee Trail team gives it a big boost.
Cherokee Trail — which came into the match on a three-game winning streak — carved a 10-goal deficit down to four in the early stages of the fourth quarter, only to see the game get away with a five-goal burst by Grandview.
Sophomore Nate Gilmore led coach Jamie Calhoun’s Cougars with four goals, while seniors Grant Green and Flint Thielen scored three apiece.
The Predators Cup trophy is newer to the girls rivalry than the boys — which has had it since 2014 — but Cherokee Trail was able to snap the Grandview girls’ two-year hold on their trophy with a 15-5 victory at Legacy Stadium April 11.
In quite a reversal from last season’s 18-6 win for the Wolves, the Cougars built a 6-3 lead by halftime and kept their foot on the gas pedal in the second half with nine more goals to earn their first win in the series since 2013.
Senior Kaley Bruning and sophomore Aubrey Benton scored four goals apiece to lead the way for Cherokee Trail, which improved to 4-5 on the season. Senior Lana Howell added two goals and two assists as coach Blake Macklin’s Cougars matched their season-high in goals scored that was first achieved in their opener against Northfield.
Simultaneously, Cherokee Trail matched its season-low for goals allowed as the goalie tandem of seniors Lexi Roybal and Annalise Whitaker combined to save nine of the 14 shots on goal.
Grandview, which came into the game with some momentum after picking up its first win of the season with a 12-9 win over Arapahoe April 8, is now
Over the past weekend, the eyes of the golf world were on Augusta National Golf Club, where as one of the sport’s greatest spectacles — The Masters — took place.
A week before the major, the national finals of the annual Drive, Chip & Putt competition for boys and girls from across the country in four age groups took place at the venerable venue.
There was Aurora representation in the field in 8th grader Sophia Capua of Vista PEAK Exploratory along with Anthony Chen, a 7th grader at Fox Ridge Middle School, who made the girls 14-15 and boys 12-13 competitions, respectively, for the April 3 finals.
Participants accrue points based on how they rank against the field in the drive, chip and putt events, with their two attempts in each discipline added together.
Capua made it through two rounds of competition on her home course (Murphy Creek G.C.) and then won a regional qualifier at Colorado Golf Club last September to earn one of 10 spots in the national competition, representing the Upper Midwest.
The top performer in each event received championship medals and Capua got one in the chip portion of the competition, where she was the best in the field by more than 10 feet in that discipline. She received her medal from Nancy Lopez, a former star on the LPGA circuit.
In the overall standings, Capua finished fifth as she got 10 points from the chip, five from the putt and two from the drive for a total of 17 that put her fifth overall. Mia Hammond of New Albany, Ohio, won the competition with 28 points.
Chen also made it through the Murphy Creek and Colorado Golf Club qualifiers and nearly won the title in the putt portion. He made a hole-in-one on one of his attempts — which was matched by Michael Jorski of Clarendon Hills, Illinois — and Jorski topped Chen by three inches on the second attempt to win the event. Chen finished ninth in the overall standings.
Two new head coaches of local programs for the 2022-23 winter prep sports season were announced by their respective schools via social media April 12.
Cherokee Trail’s boys basketball team will now be under the direc-
tion of Brandon Brown, who is coming off a successful season as head coach at Horizon. Brown — who takes over for local coaching legend Gary Childress — played at Eaglecrest and also served as an assistant in the program previously before he led Horizon to an 18-4 record in the 2021-22 season, which ended in a loss to Legacy in the second round of the Class 5A state playoffs.
Horacio Vialpando takes over for Sparky Adair as the head coach of the Eaglecrest girls wrestling team, which is coming off a successful season that saw the Raptors qualify seven wrestlers for the state tournament and had a state champion in junior Blythe Cayko at 185 pounds. Vialpando, an assistant for head coach Javier Quintana on the boys team and a former wrestler in
the Eaglecrest program himself, is one of several coaches who helped Cayko — who went 32-0 last season and won every match by pin — progress to level of state champion.
