A Boulder woman has been charged with felony extortion after police said she threatened a Longmont couple with calling immigration authorities if they didn’t pay her money after a car accident in which she was at fault.
The case started back in April when Abigail Jane Suber, 28, of Boulder, and Hector Holguin-Perez, 41, of Longmont, were involved in a minor car accident near the intersection of 24th and Pearl streets in Boulder.
Holguin-Perez and his wife, Irma Hernandez, told Boulder police that Suber threatened to call immigration authorities if they did not admit fault in the accident and pay her $400. Later, Suber demanded $800, they said.
Suber said she offered to settle the matter privately at the request of Holguin-Perez and Hernandez, only to have them stop payment on the checks.
