GREELEY — A judge has issued a temporary restraining order against Greeley Mayor Ed Clark after he was accused of throwing a 15-year-old boy to the ground when the boy refused to stop riding a motorbike.
The order requires Clark to stay at least 100 yards away from the boy. The boy’s father, Tim Stitt, says Clark forced the boy to the ground on Monday and then held him there until police arrived.
Police ticketed the boy for driving without a license.
Clark says he stopped the boy for his own safety and did not hurt him. He says he will fight the restraining order during a July 7 hearing.
Stitt says Clark should be charged with assault. He says he’ll ask a judge to make the restraining order permanent.
