BOULDER, Colo.—A man linked to an evacuation of a homeless shelter in Boulder over concern about a potentially toxic chemical has been arrested on a warrant from another county alleging possession of an illegal weapon.
Authorities say the arrest of 21-year-old Ari Misha Liggett was not connected to the evacuation.
Bruce Williamson of the Arapahoe County sheriff’s office says Liggett was arrested Thursday at a UPS site in Boulder on the county’s weapons warrant.
Boulder police spokeswoman Sarah Huntley says the man told officers he had hazardous materials stored at the homeless shelter, prompting an evacuation of 75 to 100 people from the shelter. Boulder police say they have given the materials to the FBI for further testing.
Huntley says the materials posed no hazard because they were in sealed containers.
