LOCHBUIE — The flier says a horse owner needs help finding executioners. He wants people to come to his property and help gun down 24 horses.
The Weld County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday the flier is being passed around the county by 64-year-old Trenton Parker. According to the Sheriff’s Office, Parker is upset because he faces a 90-day jail sentence for contempt of court after he failed to clean up his property.
On the flier, Parker said he’s looking for riflemen to publicly execute 24 registered horses as a way to protest the zoning codes. He said the shootings will happen at high noon on Sept. 5.
9News spoke with Parker by telephone and he said, “Yes, we’re going to kill the horses. We have to.”
Parker is due in court on Sept. 8 on the contempt charges.
