Police arrested a 38-year-old Boulder man Monday on suspicion of biking while intoxicated, after he admitted to hitting a car and trying to run a red light.
Officers who were on foot near the intersection of 28th Street and Valmont Road saw Jonas Rizzo almost crash his bike about 4:40 p.m. Monday, according to detective Sgt. Melissa Kampf. When they contacted him, Kampf said, he was visibly drunk and he told them that he hit a car while trying to run a red light.
He told officers that the accident “wasn’t the car’s fault,” but rather it was his fault, according to Kampf. Rizzo then failed to successfully complete roadside maneuvers and was arrested on suspicion of biking under the influence.
He was booked and released from the Boulder County Jail.
