Maybe he should have just worn a hat.

But Jullian Lee Simmons, 34, grew angry Sunday while getting a free haircut as part of a homeless program at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Boulder, and he chose to attack his volunteer barber and several other people, police said.

Then he allegedly pelted a woman in the face with a rock outside the church for no apparent reason.

Around noon, Simmons grew angry and threw a pair of scissors at his 37-year-old barber. He missed, but connected when he picked up and swung a piano bench, police said.

It took a handful of parishioners to toss Simmons from the premises.

A 28-year-old man, a 51-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman were injured in the church. Two of them were treated at Boulder Community Hospital and released.

The 52-year-old woman who was hit with the rock outside the church followed him in her car while calling 9-1-1, until police arrested him in an alley east of Broadway and north of Mapleton Avenue.

Simmons is in Boulder County Jail on four counts of second-degree assault, two counts of third-degree assault and one count of criminal mischief.
