While recovering at St. Anthony Hospital, a man told police that he was clipped by a truck Sept. 25 while crossing the road at West 68th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard in Arvada. He slammed his hands on the hood of the truck out of frustration before the driver cursed him and drove off. He told police he was in pain but nothing was broken due to his “high pain threshold.”
2 Sweet-talking shoplifter. A man walked into Sports Authority at 7400 W. 52nd Ave. in Arvada on Sept. 26 and grabbed two pairs of shoes and a sweatshirt valued at $205 as he talked to employees before walking out with the merchandise.
